Time to sell Girl Scout Cookies!
Thank you to Mrs. Repak who is the Cookie Manager for our troop again this year!
There's more to Girl Scout Cookies than what's in the box! Selling cookies teaches five important skills that are essential aspects to leadership, to success, and to life:
-- Goal Setting
-- Decision Making
-- Money Management
-- People Skills
-- Business ethics

Please check out the Girl Scout Cookie website (the link above) which discusses The 5 Skills that Girl Scouts develop through the process of selling cookies. Friday, February 8th is National Girl Scout Cookie Day. This would be a great day to discuss The 5 Skills with your Brownie. We want our girls to OWN this experience so they can take pride in what they have accomplished!

Thank your customers!
We recommend that you include a "thank you" to your customers for ordering girl scout cookies and supporting our troop. Below you will find a thank you note template directly from the girl scout website, check out Pinterest for some creative ideas or I'm sure many of you have your own unique ideas of how to say thank you. We want your girl scout to stand out so that her customers know she is a girl with character and manners.... and so that they will hopefully purchase cookies from our Troop 176 again next year!
