Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

Advocacy

To develop robust meaningful strategies, we must give girls a voice, then listen to what they have to say.

During the spring of 2008, Girl Scouts of the USA announced Girl Scouts of Nassau County was selected to become one of sixteen national Advocacy Champions.  Each Advocacy Champion would become a voice for Girl Scouts, joining together as advocates and promoting the new Live Healthy, Lead Healthy initiative.  The initiative would focus on three areas:

        • Relational Aggression and Cyberbullying
        • Healthy Media Images
        • Disordered Eating

GSNC is looking for community partners and stakeholders interested in addressing these issues.  If you would like to join us in raising awareness, educating others and advocating for change, contact us.
