Girl Scouts of Nassau County Kicks Off Annual Mags&Munchies Program
Garden City, NY (October 1, 2021)—Girl Scouts of Nassau
County (GSNC) is proud to announce that their annual Mags&Munchies
program will return on October 1 and run through November 12, 2021.
Through the Mags&Munchies program, Girl Scouts sell various
products, including magazines, and delicious nuts, snacks, and
chocolates. The program presents Girl Scouts with an opportunity to
give back to their communities—while providing girls with
entrepreneurial, goal-setting, and decision-making skills—in
preparation for the start of the Girl Scout Cookie® selling
season.
"Our Girl Scouts are incredibly excited for
this year's Mags&Munchies program. Through online and in-person
sales, Girl Scouts learn invaluable e-commerce, digital marketing, and
entrepreneurial skills," said Randell M. Bynum, Chief Executive
Officer, Girl Scouts of Nassau County. "This program provides fun
and easy ways for girls to earn, learn and give back to the
community."
All products are available in-person
from a Girl Scout as well as at their online store. Girls will build
an online shop, where they will create an avatar that looks just like
them and record a message for their virtual likeness to deliver to
friends and family. There are also many other ways for girls to engage
in the program, including uploading their own personal videos, earning
virtual rewards for their avatars, and tracking their progress.
This year, customers will have a variety of new options. Buyers
can select healthy assortments, including the Nut & Seed Blend,
which includes peanuts, sunflower seeds, pepitas, dried cranberries,
almonds, and cashews; or sweet treats like the Ruby Medley, which
features almonds, dried cherries, dried cranberries, ruby cups, and
cocoa cups. Each Girl Scout will accept orders through their digital
store in addition to taking paper orders. Customers can also subscribe
to hundreds of magazines or renew current subscriptions to benefit
their favorite through their Girl Scout and her troop.
In addition, the Girl Scouts of Nassau County continue to support
Operation Stop Hunger on Long Island as part of its ongoing efforts to
support Long Islanders facing food insecurity. Each Mags &
Munchies purchase will give customers the option to donate $6.00 to
the organization, and the Girl Scouts will match each donation by
delivering nut/snack items to local food pantries on Long
Island.
