“Once again we are gearing up for another great Girl Scout Cookie program,” said Donna Ceravolo, Executive Director of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County.  “We are glad to be making healthful changes to our products and also introducing some new cookies!”
 
This year, there are eight Cookie varieties, all containing zero grams of trans fat with the same great taste.  They are Lemon Chalet Cremes, Trefoils, Do-Si-Dos, Samoas, All-Abouts, Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips, Tagalongs and Thin Mints.

The Girl Scout Cookies Program is the world's largest Business and Financial literacy program. In the 82 years that the Girl Scouts Cookie Program has been in existence, it has continuously offered new ways to help girls grow strong. Girls learn important lessons about business, math, organization, sales, money management, negotiation, responsibility and most importantly, self-confidence. The Cookie Program also teaches girls to appreciate and take pride in the work that they've accomplished for themselves and for Girl Scouts. Because of the earning power of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, no girl is ever turned away from Girl Scouts of Nassau County because of financial need.
