Spotlight on Girl Scout Daisies & Brownies!
Troop 2336 - Roeland Park, KS

Do you remember your first overnight camp-out? Girl Scout Daisy Troop 2336 recently enjoyed their first overnight at Camp Prairie Schooner. They had a campfire, hiked to the Prairie Fairy house and did the traverse wall. It was an awesome first camping trip for these go-getter Daisies!
Troop 2705 - Topeka, KS

STRONG G.I.R.L.s! How cool is this? A few members from GS Daisy Troop 2705 participated in their local mud obstacle race. These Girl Scouts are tough! Way to go!!
Troop 1637 - Kansas City, MO

This is what achieving a Girl Scout Cookie Program goal looks like! Shout out to Brownie Troop 1637 who made fun and service a part of their Cookie Program goals. And, we are thrilled to say GOAL MET! These Girl Scouts had a blast at Running Star Ranch in Kearney where they got to learn about safety and grooming of a horse, enjoyed a ride and fed the donkeys. Fun! On the service front, these Girl Scouts took a portion of their proceeds to purchase more than 100 hygiene items to donate to Veterans Community Project to be used for bags to give to Veterans.
Tell us about your girl! How is your Girl Scout taking the lead? We love our Girl Scouts in action with our programs, but we are not limited here. Is she taking the lead in school, in her place of worship or in another group activity? Share with us at prdept@gsksmo.org or use the social media icons below with #BecauseofGirlScouts.

Wrapping up 2019 and ready for 2020—the Annual Cookie Program

2019 Recognitions are in! Please reach out to your Troop Leader/Troop Cookie Parent if your Girl Scout hasn’t picked up her recognitions. We ask that all recognitions are distributed by Memorial Day weekend.

Did your Girl Scout use Smart Cookies for online orders? Keep reading!

Girls who used Smart Cookies for online order taking will want to save their contacts; this information will be deleted from Smart Cookies over the summer. Saving your contacts is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
  1. Log into Smart Cookies (as the Girl Scout)
  2. Go to My Orders tab and choose Contacts
  3. Click Export and save as file on your computer

When we gear up for Cookies 2020, we’ll send you a Cookiegram explaining how you can upload your 2019 contacts.
