A Special Message for Daisy and Brownie Leaders:

Chances are, next month's Cookie Sale Program might still be a relatively new experience for you and your girls. Or perhaps, you've participated once or twice and you want your girls to gain even more skills - and more money. Great idea! But how?

Our Council offers a super cool program called Cookie U on January 10 in two locations: Stuart and Hollywood.  

Whether your girls are Cookie Rookies or experienced sellers, Cookie U 

Cookie U courses teach girls a ton of customer service techniques, product know-how, best booth behavior, goal setting skills, money handling tips and sensational sales ideas too. In short, we know when girls participate in Cookie U they gain confidence, can explain (sell) the cookie varieties, are more excited about selling - and appreciate the business skills that this program really offers!

No problem! You can feel good about sharing this with your parents too. Moms (and dads) can register and bring their own daughters. Girls who come without their entire troop can bring back benefits to the others; it's powerful to let girls teach each other, at any age. Rather than use the leader registration link, encourage them to call Diana Mills and register by phone at: 954-513-3786.

In a troop, or at Cookie U as individuals, Daisies will earn two Leaves while Brownies will earn two Badges. Both get the official 2015 Cookie U Patch. Program time is 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. in Stuart and Hollywood. A snack will be served to girls. All this for $20.00 per girl.

Adults can attend an on-site presentation

Plus, adults can attend an on-sight presentation and Q & A session with Council staff members, beginning at 9:30 a.m., for no additional charge. This is the perfect place for parents to learn more about how they can support their daughters, and you as the troop leader, throughout the sale. It's also a great time to ask your own questions, get clarification or confirm essential sale details. Parents will leave better prepared to help their daughters with their sale, both at booths and in person to family, friends and neighbors. Hear a little more about online selling with the Digital Order Card too!
