For Girl Scout Volunteers

2012 COOKIE PROGRAM

This is a great time to see how close your troop came to meeting the Girl Scout national average goal of 128 boxes per girl! Did you meet your troop goal? How close did each girl come to her personal goal? If you still have a way to go we have numerous Cookie Booth opportunities in eBudde under the Booth Sites tab listed in Council Sales. Remember that Girl Scout troops can significantly increase their cookie troop profits by reaching a higher goal such as the national average goal while learning one of the 5 skills of “goal setting.” And don’t forget that’s also this year’s Cookie Booth contest theme! So keep on working towards your goals—if you can dream it you can achieve it!

TRAINING CANCELLATION

Service Unit Management Training Scheduled for Tuesday, January 31 at the Geneva Public Library has been cancelled!
