number of techniques from selling Girl Scout cookies. It helped in areas such as 
marketing, managing money, safety, and setting goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />When 
selling cookies, there has to be a way for people to know cookies are being 
sold. A few ways are telling friends and asking them to spread the word, sending 
out emails, and making signs and putting the signs on a vehicle . These 
marketing techniques should help boost your cookie sale rate.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The next skill 
that I learned was how to manage money. The biggest part of managing money is 
learning how to make a budget and stick to it. With this budget, you can plan 
out what different types of things you want to do with the profit that is made.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;While I was preparing for Girl Scouts I learned about how to be a safe sales 
person. I learned to always go door to door with a buddy and adult, never give 
out any personal information like your last name or home address, and never go 
into a stranger's house.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The last, and most important, part of being a 
successful sales person is setting goals. Setting goals help me focus on things 
that are important and to not lose focus. Setting goals and reaching them also 
gives me a happy feeling and tells me I can do anything if I put my mind to it. 
In the end, learning these techniques can take me very far in the 
future.<br /><br /></div>

I am going to tell you about the Girl Scout cookies that we are selling this 
year.&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal">My favorite Girl Scout cookie is the Shout Out because it is so yummy and 
delicious. I know that if you try them you will say they're yummy too. The first 
Girl Scout cookie was the Shortbread. I have tried the shortbread cookie and it 
is good. My troop used a recipe and made the first original cookie. My sister 
and I burned our cookies. The next one is the Thin Mint. I love them because if 
you freeze them they are yummy. The next cookie is the Caramel DeLite. I like 
them so much because they has so much coconut. My dad and I love to sit on the 
couch and eat them with a glass of milk. The next cookie is the Peanut Butter 
Patty. I don't like these very much but my sister Brianna LOVES them. She said 
they taste like a Reese's peanut butter cup. There is also a Peanut Butter 
Sandwich. The Thanks-A-Lot cookie is good and if you don't know how to say thank 
you, get a package of these and it says thank you in five different languages. I 
love the Lemonades also. They are good to eat with a glass of cold milk too.&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal">I 
like selling Girl Scout cookies because I get to meet new people. I like going 
to different places to sell cookies. My favorite part of selling Girl Scout 
cookies is the fun stuff my troop gets to do with the money and the cute prizes 
that I earn. I also get to go to camp with the money that I get from cookies 
that I sell.&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal">Last year, I sold over 2,000 boxes of cookies. This year, I am 
going to sell that many cookies because I want to go to 2 weeks of camp. The 
thing I like about Girl Scouts is earning patches and going places. I love Girl 
Scouts! It's fun!<o:p></o:p></p>]]>

met up in a church parking lot where we sorted out who would ride in what 
vehicle. After that, we drove to our destination.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Once 
we arrived, we all went to Subway and bought ourselves a sandwich. Then, we went 
to Stone Mountain. It was so cool! We climbed all the way to the top. The view 
was amazing! You could see downtown Atlanta from there! We all climbed back down 
the way we came up and ate dinner on the grass in front of the mountain. Once it 
got dark, we got to watch a cool laser show on the side of the 
mountain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">By 
then it was late, so after the show we drove to the hotel, checked in, and fell 
right asleep. The next day, we checked out and went to The World of Coca-Cola. 
We had a great time! We even got to try foreign sodas! Afterwards, we walked to 
the Georgia Aquarium. I loved the beluga whales! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Finally, 
we finished our trip off with a walk through Centennial Park, and ate lunch at 
the CNN center. Overall, I had a fun time on our trip. I hope my troop can sell 
a lot of cookies this year so we can go on another fun 
trip!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

enjoyable time at kayaking trip during the summer.&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal">When I arrived at Scoutshire Woods Girl Scout Camp, 
Ranger Rick took our bags and put them in High Winds. Then, we went to a 
swimming party and it was a blast. We ate pizza and drank Capri Suns. After 
that, I was met by my tent buddies and they were friendly.&nbsp;</p><img alt="Brianna.jpg" src="http://www.girlscoutssa.org/blog/Brianna.jpg" width="150" height="203" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" /><p class="MsoNormal">The next morning, we 
woke up and had a delicious breakfast. Next, we went to the canoe docks and 
practiced kayaking. After we practiced enough, we went to a Mississippi creek 
and kayaked for two to three hours When we were done we had a delicious hobo 
meal.&nbsp; We enjoyed chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Boy! After that, we 
had fun and went canoeing and kayaking again. That night, we lit candles and 
sang sweet, sad songs that made the entire group of kayakers cry.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The next morning we 
packed our stuff and got ready to go home. We stayed at the Rec hall and played 
games for awhile.&nbsp; One game we played was Cane Race. Once we did the races, the 
camp director announced the spirit stick. Kayaking the river trip was awesome. 
This is one camp that I will never forget because it was fun, enjoyable and 
amazing. I hope that everyone will go and have a lot of fun!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>]]>

8<sup>th</sup> grader at Baldwin Arts and Academic Magnet School.&nbsp; Along with 
loving Girl Scouts, I love playing volleyball.&nbsp; I've been a Girl Scout since I 
was in 1<sup>st</sup> grade.&nbsp; I've had lots of fun too.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">The event I liked the 
most was when we went &nbsp;with our troop leader and co-leader to a huge Girl Scout Event.&nbsp; It was awesome!&nbsp; The companies that Girl 
Scouts get cookies, fall product and uniforms from were all there.&nbsp; I met 
professional basketball players, took a picture with Tony the Tiger, tried out 
computers, and we played games like golf, basketball and archery.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">I also 
enjoyed going to Florida to the beach with my troop.&nbsp; Even though it rained 
while we were there, we got a chance to see the white sand and learn what the 
different color flags on the beach meant and we even built sand castles. Some of 
these helped us earn a Girl Scout patch.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am looking forward to being able to 
travel to other states while I am in Girl Scouts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">I am proud to say I'm a part 
of 100 years of Girl Scouting.&nbsp; I enjoyed the 100<sup>th</sup> celebration at 
Alabama Shakespeare Festival.&nbsp; There were tables where you could do basket 
weaving, make key chains, earn patches, buy cotton candy and Girl Scout cookies. 
My favorite table was the face painting booth.&nbsp; The girls painted a picture of a 
volleyball on my face.<o:p></o:p></span></p>]]>
