Girlfriends
December 2011 Edition
This fall we began the countdown to the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting in the USA! Girl Scouts of Nassau County kicked off this monumental time with the Birthday Bash on the Bay.
Winter in Girl Scouts of Nassau County marks the beginning of the Girl Scout Cookie Season. This Cookie Season, girls will learn about the importance of goal setting and the dreams they can achieve by setting goals. Cookies can do girls do great things!
In the upcoming year, besides participating in the GSNC Cookie Programs, Girl Scouts in Nassau County have the opportunity to participate in programs like Empowering ME and the Girl’s Go the Distance Walk-a-thon. Girls also have the chance to experience a film screening of Killing Us Softly 4 and the GSNC Theatri-gals Third Annual performance.

About GirlFriends
GirlFriends is a publication of Girl Scouts of Nassau County, Inc. which provides Girl Scouts in Nassau County the opportunity to hear about the outcome of past events, while also hearing about future events within the Nassau Council. Look for a new issue every six to eight weeks.
We welcome photos and stories of your troop activities, as well as suggestions of how we can continue to make GirlFriends better. Don’t forget you can also find the latest information by subscribing to our e-newsletter and “liking” our page on Facebook.
How do I get my Troop photos and stories in GirlFriends?
The Editors of GirlFriends are always looking for great photos and stories of Girl Scouts at work or play. To submit a photo or story you may email it to lenza@gsnc.org with the following information:
- Caption explaining the activity
- Troop Number
- Association Name
- Girl Scout Level
All photos must be jpg’s attached to your email. We can't accept photos embedded in an email or slide show from a third party processor.
*Photos and/ or stories chosen is at the discretion of the Editors.
What makes a good picture?
* Align yourself with object/person… try interesting angles
* Even if you don't want to necessarily take a close up, be close up to object – better for lighting and it will come out clearer
* Candid shots are more appealing than pictures that were set up
* Take photos of people that are not stationary, but rather in angles (example – arm across a notebook, or someone's hand being raised, or someone's head cocked as if they are listening intently.)
* Make pictures diversified – not just of people from different ethnicities, but different hair color or different colored shirts.
* Background in picture is just as important as your object (never imply that an auditorium is empty, take pictures where people fill up rows. Murals, a clean desk, a globe, a calendar are all nice images.)
