With the new Girl Scout year starting, I find myself asking, “What can I do to help leaders create the best Girl Scout year EVER?” The best years I experienced as a leader were the ones where I took time to plan the entire year.

Whew! What a cookie sale! I’m sure most of us have a collection of empty Girl Scout cookie case boxes, which are quite handy for LOTS of things! As you’re cleaning out your car, you can put everything in them, store papers to be filed later, use them for newspaper recycling, lugging Girl Scout supplies to meetings Recycle

Happy 98th Birthday Girl Scouts!

And that my friends, does the body and mind good!

Initial cookie orders are placed and the numbers look great! (1,185,189 boxes sold as of Feb. 5 from Scouts in the Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland’s entire 80 counties! AWESOME!)

Has your Scout reached her cookie goal? If not, have no fear the cookie sale isn’t over yet, it runs through March 7. Yes, March 7! AND in our experience, the people who missed pre-ordering come out of the woodwork! You can still call on customers you couldn’t catch during pre-order collectinRead More...
