Drive-Thru Sign Ups Update
Oops! We jumped the gun and would like to apologize for last week's announcement about the drive-thru sign ups being ready this morning! We were so excited to have it ready for you earlier than ever that we didn't realize the eBudde system will not allow us to have drive-thru sign ups until troops have placed their initial orders in the eBudde system. The new drive-thru sign up will be available February 5 at 9:00am after the February 1 initial order deadline. Thank you for your understanding!

2016 Cookie Pin 
When a Girl Scout places a pin or a badge on her vest or sash, it symbolizes an important achievement. Cookie Activity pins recognize the five skills learned and practiced during the sale. Cookie Business badges demonstrate that a girl has developed specific skills related to running her own business. When a Girl Scout wears these emblems, she lets the world know she's a real-life Cookie Boss! The annual Cookie Activity pin acknowledges participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. A different colored pin can be earned each year. The cookie pin is available to purchase in the GSCV shop for $1.50 each.

Rest In Peace, Ms. Robinett Brooks 
One of the saddest events in Girl Scouting is to hear of the passing of a sister Girl Scout. Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia has learned of the death of Ms. Robinett Pittman Brooks, and we would like to express our sincerest sympathies to the family at this difficult time. She helped the organization move forward in great strides, and her efforts and contributions will never be forgotten.
