Since 1988, Girl Scouts of Nassau County has had the great fortune to have a chorus composed of girls ages 8 to 17 years old. Over the years, the chorus has been featured at various events such as at Mets and Jets games, and various local venues.

In addition, for the Girl Scouts’ 95th National Anniversary in 2007, the GSNC Chorus was given the opportunity to travel to Washington DC to sing on the Washington Mall for over 300.000 people.
