Volunteer Connections by Girl Scouts of Nassau County

“Last cookie season I earned the 4,000 box reward, a trip to Savannah, Georgia. I went over the summer with my mother and had a lot of fun. While there, I visited the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, the Gingerbread House, the Savannah Botanical Gardens and all 22 Squares in Savannah. I learned many new facts there too like, Savannah is one of the most haunted cities in the U.S. I had a great time and would love to go back!” - Isabella I. Troop 2185 Isabella has been GSNC’s top seller for 4 years in a row and she’s already set her goal so she can earn the top reward again this year—a trip to Niagara Falls! Will you be joining her? It takes a lot of effort to sell so many boxes of Cookies , but Isabella is a real entrepreneurial G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker and Leader)TM. In 2017 she worked hard with her Leader and Troop Cookie Manager to not only reach her own goals, but to support the Five Skills (Goal Setting, Decision Making, People Skills, Money Management an...

This summer, the Girl Scouts of Nassau County are sharing their adventures with friends, family and, of course, our very own Flat Juliette. But who is Flat Juliette? Our Flat Juliette project allows Girl Scouts to get to know our amazing founder, Juliette Gordon Low, while having fun and enjoying their summer activities. Girls can create paper “Flat Juliette’s” and take pictures with their new pal to document her travels. So, where will we find Flat Juliette this summer? As a true Girls Scout, she loves to explore, meet new people and, above all, have fun. If you take her with you, make sure to take lots of pictures and send them to your friends and family along with the cut out piece of Flat Juliette. She will continue to travel with them and you’ll be amazed to see where she might end up. She could visit grandparents, cousins, meet community leaders, teachers, other Girl Scout troops, celebrities and entertainers, or even travel to another country.   There are countl...
