How Girls Can Reach Their Girl Scout Cookie Program Goals

 
There's Still Time for Girls to Reach Their
Girl Scout Cookie Program Goals!
 
 
 
Goal Getter Program Extended to Feb. 22

After this winter’s unusually severe weather, we want to make sure girls have the opportunity to reach their goals and earn the rewards they are aiming for. We have extended the Goal Getter program! Goal Getter order forms are now due to ...troop leaders on Feb. 22. Cookies sold during this extra week DO count towards the 20+ boxes needed enter the Build-a-Bear drawing for each Service Unit. Watch for a special #polarvortex patch to commemorate this season coming soon!

 
There's Still Time to Sign Up For a Cookie Booth
 
At a Girl Scout Cookie Booth, troops sell Girl Scout Cookies to customers at shopping centers, churches, apartment complexes, festivals, restaurants and other venues in their area. Cookie Booths gives customers a chance to get their favorite Girl Scout Cookies immediately and gives Girl Scouts the opportunity to reach a wider audience, promote the beneļ¬ts of the Girl Scout Cookie Program in their community and work on key skills together as a troop.   Cookies sold at Girl Scout Cookie Booths from now until March 16 will count towards Girl Scout rewards.
 
Council Sponsored Cookie Booth weekends are Feb. 28 – March 2, March 7-9, and March 14-16.   To host a Girl Scout Cookie Booth, a troop needs one registered adult and two registered Girl Scouts -- so if a troop needs to work in shifts, they can. 
 
Also, if a troop wants to hold a Girl Scout Cookie Booth to raise funds for troop activities, they can.  Please contact GSSI's Product Program staff to get set up.
 
 
 

Don't Forget About Gift of Caring

Each year, GSSI has a special Gift of Caring project as part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program.  Gift of Caring lets fans of Girl Scout Cookies give to others while supporting Girl Scouts.



During the 2014 Girl Scout Cookie Program, GSSI is partnering with local American Red Cross chapters for Gift of Caring.  Through this partnership, Girl Scout Cookies can be donated to help comfort families who are affected by natural disasters.
