GARDEN CITY, N.Y. -- The Girl Scouts of Nassau County have received a $1.8 million donation from philanthropist Mackenzie Scott.
The Nassau council plans to use the money to help build a new program and event space.
They will also use it to increase innovation and diversity efforts over the next three years and to expand a traveling van program to offer storefront locations so others can sign up and join.
The donation is part of an $84.5 million gift to the Girl Scouts movement nationwide from Scott.
