Greetings!
 Looking for something fun for your daughters to do this summer? Sign them up for our great summer camps! These are just a few of the new and exciting camps we're offering this year: - Little Medical School is a great option for girls who are interested in the medical field or just love playing "doctor." Your girls will get hands-on experience using real medical equipment, and they'll learn first aid. - Camp Mockingjay is for the adventurous girls who want to challenge themselves outdoors. Girls will try their hand at archery, camp in a remote location at Camp and master our low ropes course with the help of their teammates. - Junior Vet is a camp your animal lovers and future vets won't want to miss. This new camp gives girls the chance to spend time with real Veterinary Technicians to find out what it's like working with pets. They'll even practice giving medications and suturing wounds. -Line Up with the Lindenwood Lions is the ultimate dance camp. Girls will dance with the national award winning Lindenwood Lion Line Dance Team and learn choreography from Brooke Hoepfner, the choreographer for our BIG Day flash mob. - Tuckaho's Got Talent is for girls who can't wait to get in the spotlight. Girls will choose an area of concentration - visual arts, drama or dance - and show their stuff at a talent show. Be sure to check out our summer camp guide, S'more Summer Fun, to see all of our camps, and sign up now! ALL girls are invited to our camp programs, so make sure your daughter's friends join her for a summer to remember. Still looking for those yummy Girl Scout Cookies? You're in luck! To help us reach this year's goal, troops have the option of selling additional cookies in a special Bonus Box Bash from April 1-12. If you would like to purchase Girl Scout Cookies, please call our Council office, 314.592.2300, and we will do our best to find a troop that will contact you. Troop Cookie Managers are encouraged to participate in this bonus sale, and all troops selling 10 additional cases of cookies are invited to a party to celebrate. See the Product Sales article below to find out more! Best Wishes,
