Volunteer Connections by Girl Scouts of Nassau County

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is under way. And, guess what? It’s not too late to participate! Your Girl Scout still has time to learn important life skills, gain a ton of confidence, and find out what she is capable of. And there is more!

With the new online program, they can now order from me and pay online. When they order, the cookies will be shipped directly to their home. One of the biggest parts of the Girl Scout Cookie Programs is setting a goal. On my cookie website, I can post my goals for the cookie season for all of my customers to see and people can see how close I am to my sales goal. If someo...
