Online Marketing Reminders For Girls

Girls may email family and friends, but cannot have customers pay online.  Girl Scouts should NOT post on Ebay or Craigslist due to the online payment prohibition, girl safety-issues and because GSOC girls are not permitted to sell outside of Orange County.  Please see your Family Guide and Girl Scout Internet Safety Pledge for guidance.

 

Celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Day on February 8

Announcing our first ever National Girl Scout Cookie Day!  Girls can participate in the day and purchase a patch in our shop.  See the flyer for more details.

 

Valentine's Day Cookie Bundles

Why buy chocolates for your valentine when you can give a Chocolate Lovers Bundle of Peanut Butter Patties, Thin Mints and Caramel deLites.  Download cute bundling labels.

 

Cookie Share - The Tax Deductible & Calorie Free GS Cookie!

If you can't eat them, you can treat them!  Remind your girls to carry Cookie Share Receipts with them as they go door to door.  You can also print out this Cookie Share flyer from our website or Volunteer Network to add to your booth sale or Cookie Stand.

  Camp Scherman

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 Winter Wonderland Camp and Troop Weekend Adventures S'mores and More on February 22-24.  Enjoy toasting your marshmallows for s'mores as well as other Girl Scout traditions like singing around the campfire!
