Building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
IHappy New Year!
I hope everyone had a great break and is ready for a great semester of girl scouts.
First up - Cookie Season is here. You should have received an email last month asking you to register your girl scout. If your scout will be selling cookies please dig up that email and get signed up in digital cookies. You will soon start getting regular emails from our extraordinary cookie mom - Marta DeVolt. If you haven't gotten any emails from her please let us know. Our goal is to sell 7,500 boxes of cookies this year to help support our regular activities as well as make headway on our Savannah trip next spring.
Badges and Awards - I hope to hand out the badges earned during the fall at our meeting on Sunday and I might even have our fall product awards by then! If you need help getting vests updated please let me know. Remember girls should wear their vests whenever selling cookies.
T-Shirts & Hoodies - We have a few remaining T-shirts if you didn't order them in December. T-shirts are $10 each. I do have 1 Adult XL sweatshirt available for $20.
Circus - The circus is coming to town and they're offering special Girl Scout tickets. We won't do this as a troop but if you're interested for your family follow this link https://bit.ly/46RdX8R
Missed Meetings - If you missed any meetings in the fall and would like to make up the badge work check out the missed meetings page on our website: https://www.girlscout30011.org/missed-meetings
Summer Camp - Council summer camps are open and they're offering an early bird special through the month. Find out more at https://bit.ly/3R5CbYu
