Girl Scouts of Nassau County Kicks off Their Mags&Munchies Program

Mags&Munchies helps Girl Scouts become entrepreneurs while giving back to their communities

Girl Scouts across Nassau County are getting ready to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit with their eagerly anticipated – Mags&Munchies Fall Product Program, running from September 27 through November 3. This year’s Mags&Munchies program is all about "Embracing Possibility", inspiring Girl Scouts to dream big and set high goals – all while raising money to help to fund their Girl Scout troop adventures.

“Mags&Munchies empowers our Girl Scouts to make a meaningful impact in their community while earning funds for their troop and hone important business and leadership skills,” said Randell Bynum, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Engaging in both traditional and online sales, girls embody the spirit of entrepreneurial leadership, all while generating funds to support their troop activities."

The Mags&Munchies program is an exciting adventure for Girl Scouts of all ages. Through in-person and online sales, Girl Scouts will harness the power of entrepreneurship by practicing the five key leadership lessons, including goal setting, decision making, people skills, money management and business ethics.
