We LOVE Our Girl Scouts!
February is almost here! Where does the time go? At this point of the Girl Scout year, we know it all about Girl Scout Cookies and getting ready for those Thinking Day celebrations!
Thank you for all you are doing to support your Girl Scout build her 5 skills through the
Cookie Program. She is working hard on those lifetime skills (decision making, goal setting, people skills, money management and business ethics). And, speaking of goal setting... how is she doing toward her individual and troop goals? From 30 to 30,000 packages, we love it when girls set their goals and celebrate their success!
There's plenty of time to take more orders. Did you know that 85% of people will purchase Girl Scout Cookies? That's right, however only 60% are ever asked! Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend. It's a great day to connect with more customers!
Tell us your Girl Scout's creative ways of selling cookies
.
We love to spotlight our awesome girls on our social media and in newsletters.
In addition to cookies, your Girl Scout may also be sharing about Thinking Day.
Girl Scout Thinking Day is on February 22nd
and is a time when we celebrate sisterhood around the world. Often, our troops will take on a country where they will showcase clothing, food and traditions in a booth they set-up. It's an awesome experience to see these girls learn and share all about their country. We will be traveling our council throughout February and early March and will
bring you great photos
from Thinking Day celebrations. We hope to see you and your Girl Scout at one of these celebrations!
And a last note... we just want to let you know that you might receive a call from one of our staff members in February. We are upgrading our membership system. More information on this upgrade will come in March. To get ready for the change, we have to make sure all our data is updated. Easy questions.. we promise! We will be asking about a current email address or birthday. All this necessary to transfer into our new system. We also love the opportunity to talk with our wonderful volunteers and families!
Thanks again for all you do to support your Girl Scout! If we can be of assistance or you have a story or photos to share,
please reach out to us.
We love those stories of our G.I.R.L.s (Go-getters, Innovators, Risk-takers, Leaders)™!
