Volunteer Connections by Girl Scouts of Nassau County

Operation Cookie 2014 Over the past 8 years Girl Scouts of Nassau County , with the help from DHL Express , has packed and shipped over 400,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies ® to our servicemen and women in Iraq, Afghanistan and surrounding areas.
