Register to Participate in GSNC Programs
Girl Scouting offers girls the opportunity to explore their skills and interests which will inspire them to reach their personal best through a variety of fun and enriching leadership experiences. But more importantly, no matter where or how they participate, girls get the necessary guidance they need from adult volunteers and council staff to develop their leadership skills and understand how those skills can be used to make a difference in the world.
Rather than just meeting in a Troop setting, Girl Scouts in Nassau County have the opportunity to participate in events and programs.
Before registering for a GSNC Program, please review important registration information.

Girl Scout Gardeners - AT CAPACITY
Who wants to get dirty? Since 2009 that’s exactly what GSNC Troops have been doing by becoming gardeners at The Farm at Oyster Bay. Both girls and adults will learn how food goes from seed to table. You will plant seeds, weed, do pest control, and harvest the organic vegetables grown. All the produce will be donated to local food pantries; last year it was over 1,200 lbs!
By participating for 3 weeks, 2 days per week, throughout the growing season, you will discover what it takes to be a gardener. The planning meeting must be attended by a Leader or adult and only 2 girl representatives; girls will report back what they learned to their Troops. At this meeting we will make the rules to follow, and Leaders or adult will pick the 3 weeks that they will be tending the garden.

The Healthy Living Initiative brings a unique perspective to keeping girls healthy. Girls define health in their own terms, placing as much emphasis on emotional and social well-being as physical health, nutrition and physical fitness. In addition to healthy eating and physical fitness, the Healthy Living Initiative focuses on increasing girls’ self-esteem, media image awareness and how to develop healthy relationships.
