Girl Scouts of Nassau County announced that it will offer a limited-time, 50-percent discount on shipping costs for online Girl Scout Cookie orders of 6 to 24 packages between Thursday, March 24 and Monday, March 28. Customers can order Girl Scout Cookies using the promotional discount from a girl’s specific digital site or by searching by ZIP code on www.girlscoutcookies.org to find a troop to support.

When placing Girl Scout Cookie orders, cookie-loving customers can purchase additional packages of cookies to donate to GSNC’s Gift of Caring program, all while helping our girls to reach their goals. Girl Scouts of Nassau County’s Gift of Caring program includes Operation Cookie, which brings a taste of home to members of the military serving at home or aboard, and Hometown Heroes, which gives Girl Scout Cookies to say “thank you” to essential workers and first responders in our communities.

“The Girl Scout Cookie Program presents girls with unique entrepreneurial opportunities to manage their own businesses, and we’re excited to offer this limited-time discount as part of that experience,” said Randell M. Bynum, Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “For weeks, Girl Scouts throughout Nassau County have been successfully running their own in-person and digital stores to sell the Girl Scout Cookies we all love. We are incredibly proud.”
