Girl Scouts of Nassau Countystopped into the Nassau County Supreme Court on Tuesday, February 16th to show their appreciation for the jurors by handing out boxes of their famous Girl Scout Cookies!
With more than 300 jurors in attendance, the girls gave each juror one box of cookies, including Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-Si-Does and their newest addition, Thank U Berry Munch.
“Being a Girl Scout means honoring and serving the community and our country,” said Donna Ceravolo, Executive Director of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “By giving our girls the opportunity to meet the jurors we are showing them how the mission and values the Girls Scouts are founded upon are put into action.”
The Girl Scouts were greeted by members of the court, including Judge Angela Iannacci and the President of the Nassau County Bar Association, Emily Franchina. Both spoke to the girls about their jobs and the importance of the justice system.
The visit goes along with World Thinking Day, a national Girl Scout and Girl Guide event that celebrates World Understanding. It is also a day for girls to reflect on the values and principles of being a Girl Scout, which mirror the civic responsibility of jurors.
