Cookie Booth Contest

As one of their badges, the girls worked on Marketing.  We took a field trip to Gordy's during one meeting to look at their cookie displays and colors.  They decided the bright colors were attention getting.  During our meetings, we talked about a 60's/70's themed booth and an 80's booth.  Because the weather didn't improve, we opted to combine the decades and adjust the plan.   Here's what we came up with:  Cookies for all generations.  With each girl representing a different decade, we present the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's!!
 Our contest entry.  Due to the cold weather, we didn't get to put it all together at an actual booth.  But these girls are too adorable in the vintage clothing to not enter.

If your gonna be Girl Scouts, you better be goofy!

Where have we been??????

One word - COOKIES!!!!! 
So far we have completed 5 of our 9 cookie booths and have sold close to 2000 boxes of cookies. The girls have logged hours during the rain, snow, sleet and 1 degree temps. They truly are the Postal Service of cookie sales. They totally rock!!!

Dough ornaments




In December, both our Daisy and Cadette Troops joined together to make some ornaments.  Since we met at the Girl Scout office, we had a good amount of work space.  The girls had a lot of fun working with the little girls.  We had a bunch of different cookie cutters for them to use and they ended up making several ornaments.  The one downside was the amount of time we had didn't allow for us to bake the ornaments.  I think they would have had a better chance of survival if we had baked them.
