Meet Georgia. She is
finishing her Junior year at Syosset High School. She began Daisy Girls Scouts
in Kindergarten and continues today as an Ambassador Girl Scout who is working towards her Gold Award.
Additionally, Georgia is finishing her second year as the Jericho/Syosset

She will continue in that position next year. She was the Mags&Munchies chair for the
2013-2014 year and has committed to the position for 2014-2015.
What can a Girl
do? As Jericho/Syosset Association’s
Cookie Manager, Georgia ran a $150,000 per year business. She ran training
sessions for Adults. She arranged fulfillment of Troop orders at an outdoor
site. She organized personnel to assist
at the drop site. She provided phone support
to Leaders, parents and girls and gave instructions for order placement on the
E-Buddie website. She assisted with
collections. She resolved order
problems. She helped Girl Scout Troops promote
Cookies through social media and booth sales.
What can your girl
do? There are lots of leadership roles
for girls in Girl Scouting, including being an Association or Troop Cookie
Manager or Mags&Munchies Manager.
Jericho/Syosset Association has 3 girls who are Delegates who represented
the Association at the Girls Scouts of Nassau County’s Annual Meeting. A Junior
Troop wrote, planned and ran the Association’s 2013-2014 Bridging Ceremony.
Danielle, a Senior at Syosset High School and a Gold Award
Recipient, represented Girl Scouts of Nassau County at Girl Scouts National Council Session and 52nd National Convention. It was an
unforgettable experience for her to have so many Adults interested in her
opinion on the issues being addressed at the Convention.
