Cookie Mobile!

Jamie decorated our wagon for cookie selling (and the Council contest). Here is her wagon...

Cookie varieties for 2010

Selling at the office

Even though we will do most of our sales from the wagon (the Cookie Mobile), for some office locations, due to security or corporate policies, Girl Scouts may not be able to "sell live" at the office. So, Jamie will put up an order sheet at Ann and Jim's office, just like last year...

Here's the sign Jamie made to put up at Ann and Jim's office along with the cookie order form.

This weekend!

We'll pick up the first round of cookies this Saturday, January 29, then the girls will be able to start selling cookies this Sunday 9am!

Find us on Youtube

We're so proud of our girls! Watch their performance of our cookie song on Youtube - the San Diego Girl Scouts will also be posting this on the city-wide site (so they'll be famous!):

Also, the girls decided to use a portion of our cookie proceeds for two service projects - they want to help the animals at the Humane Society and also help clean up San Diego's beaches. Here's a video of Jamie and Brenna with more information:

Troop Cookie Goals

Our girls agreed at the meeting tonight to:

 

-  Set the baseline/target goal for each girl to sell 70 boxes of cookies.  If you want to set your individual target for more or less, please let Ann know.

-  Use a portion of our proceeds for two charitable causes

    +  The Humane Society - we will volunteer there as well as donate needed supplies such as food and blankets for the animals

    +  Beach Clean-up - we will volunteer our time to help clean the beaches, helping to keep the earth and environment clean

Welcome to our troop Blog!

We're Troop 8158 from Scripps Ranch California. We have 12 girls in our troop, and we've decided to leverage the Internet and Social Media to share stories with family and friends, and also to help us market our Girl Scout Cookies this year!

Below is our troop's cookie sales song - sung to the tune of Jingle Bells:

Girl Scout cookie time, our favorite time of year.
We’re so happy now, that cookie time is here!
Selling house to house, and our site sales, too…
What fun it is to make you smile and that is what we’ll do!

Oh, cookie time! Cookie time!
Thin Mints are the best,
Healthy and nutritious, and we like all the rest, HEY!
Cookie time, cookie time!
Delicious Girl Scout fun…
Will you buy some cookies we know you can’t eat just one!

Girl Scouts help us learn, and become good leaders, too.
We have your favorite cookies, so buy a box or two!
Do-Si-Do and Tags, Samoas at your door,
What fun it is to help Girl Scouts by buying even more!

Oh, cookie time! Cookie time!
