Cookies: January 2010 Archives

Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama's shop is making cookie sales more fun with cookie merchandise. The shop is currently selling cookie themed t-shirts, totes, patches and pins. The shirts, which say "Save the world, it's the only planet with Girl Scout cookies," would look great on every girl in your troop when they're out selling cookies! Moms and leaders can wear this shirt, too.

It's all available online, or come see us at the shops in Montgomery and Mobile.

Increase awareness, sell more cookies and HAVE FUN!

This is your chance to get creative and have fun with the cookie sale. Decorate your car, van, or truck to promote the cookie sale during booth sales. You can even decorate the girls and adults to coordinate with the vehicle!

All of the pictures will be reviewed by a team of people that will award first, second and third place prizes. Gift Certificates from the Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama Shops will be awarded to the top three place winners:

1st Place: $60

2nd Place: $40

3rd Place: $20

The contest begins February 13. Download the Cookie Caravan Contest flyer at http://www.girlscoutssa.org/cookies2010/cookie_caravan.pdf.

Girl Scouts shine online during cookie season! What goes together like Thin Mints and a glass of milk? Girl Scout Cookies and computer savvy! Getting Connected is the theme for this year's Girl Scout Cookie Activity Pin. It's all about safe ways for girls to use tech savvy and connect with customers during the Girl Scout Cookie Experience.

The Girl Scout Cookie Sale has officially begun, and our local media is doing a great job to help promote it!  We've had calls from all around the council, and hopefully this will help increase your girls' success in the program.  Here's a sampling of what our local media is saying about the sale:
