| | Updates from the Girl Scout Shop... |  |
 The new E-Shop is coming on Friday! On February 28, we are transitioning to the national E-Shop making it easier for you to take advantage of more inventory and great sales opportunities. You will access the new E-Shop just as you do now, through our website.Of course, you can always shop with us in person!
The GS Shop will be at the March 1 Expo in Topeka! We may not bring all the items you may need, so if you would like you can place an order by telephone (816) 759-3004 or email to shopdept@gsksmo.org. You need to place your order by today, Thursday at noon. We will bring your order and you can pick up Friday evening or Saturday during the Expo.
The GS Shop will close at 4:30 pm on Friday. Because we will be bringing our shop to the Expo, we will need to close just a little early for travel and set-up.
Thanks for your support of the GS Shop! Shop now

 Running concurrently with the National Convention, The Girl Scout Leadership Institute (GSLI) is a triennial conference that presents girls 14 and older with three days of leadership skill-building activities tied to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE).
The GSLI experience will give each girl the opportunity to make new friends, develop important skills, learn about new planning processes, and take advantage of a support system that will be there to meet her needs-all delivered in a fun, engaging way. Each girl will also create action plans that will provide her and her council with a significant and lasting return on investment.

March is Cookie Booth Month
| |
 Thank you to everyone who is working so hard to support the Cookie Program! We are delivering cookies and wishing all of our service units a smooth delivery day! With cookies in hand, it is time for community booth sales - a great opportunity to continue to reach toward troop and girl goals.
If you set up your own booth sale, make sure you put into SNAP following these directions. We will then upload to the national locator where a customer can put in his or her zip code to find the closest cookie booth. We have been contacted by nearly 500 potential customers already, and we connect them with the cookie locator. Check out the locator now.
