It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!
What Can A Girl Do? Anything! Especially when she's empowered through her participation in our Girl Scout Cookie Program! This annual event and time-honored tradition is so much more than a sale-it's a way for girls to develop five key business-building skills that they'll use throughout their lives. For sample cookie activity meeting plans and to set-up your Troop's Cookie Command center, visit abcsmartcookies.com
 COCO = Cookie Success
Make COCO your online hub for your troop's cookie business. With COCO, you can monitor individual progress and see how your troop as a whole is doing. Send girls "Cheers" and post messages of encouragement to them to boost their confidence. And you can use COCO's message board to remind girls of important troop events-during the cookie program and throughout the year! |

Troop and Girl Activities |
Winter is here and it's the perfect time to get away with your daughter to a Mom and Me Weekend Camp at the Award Winning Camp Scherman! Check out what this mom had to say:
"We had an AMAZING time at camp! The snow just added to the magic of it all. This was our first visit to Scherman and I was so impressed with the activities, the grounds and especially the staff. Everyone was fun, energetic, flexible, accommodating and more! I took video so we would remember the songs when we got home and my daughter has watched it MANY times since. Thank you for everything you did to make it an amazing weekend!"
Don't miss Mom & Me Cooking Badge Weekend Camp on January 25 and an exciting opportunity for Troops to participate and experience Camp Scherman together while getting in touch with their Artrageous side in February. |

Daisy Troop 2908 had an exciting visit from Dr Tina Lin from Kaiser Permanente Medical Hospital to discuss eating healthy, getting exercise, and taking care of their bodies. Then they made a book with their ideas on how to "Respect Yourself" to earn the purple petal.
