These are our normal troop meetings planned at the moment; we will let you know if any changes are made.

FYI-Girls are interested in visiting one of our local Dams to have a tour and learn about Hydro-Energy. We will be doing this event in the spring. This event will go towards one of our Journey badges.  

Our meetings from here on out will be focusing on the girls making plans to finish their Journey badges. They will be choosing an activity to accomplish together that will help our community with the knowledge they have learned about energy this year.  It should be a great time, but may add to our schedule depending on what the girls choose.

Cookies Are Coming!

Please plan on attending the Cookie Rally on Feb 6th. We will be having booths and activities for the girls to learn about why we sell cookies and being safe doing so. The lovely VFW will be there to talk to the girls.
We will have a parent meeting at 7:15 where you can learn about the program/plan for this year. Girls will be entertained while parents are in the meeting. Then you can sign the permission slip and pick up the cookie order forms before leaving. We have lots of new information this year with the On-Line selling and new cookies.
Please plan on attending this event since cookies go on sale the very next day. 
Parents are always welcome to stay for the whole event if you wish.


Important Dates for Cookies:

Cookie Rally: February 6th @ 6-8pm. Parent Meeting @ 7:15pm. – We will be starting promptly at 6pm for the Rally, so please plan to be at the high school at 5:45.

Will keep you updated on this date as it gets closer. We get short notice on when the truck will actually deliver our service unit cookies. We need you to be flexible to pick up your cookie order the day it arrives in Green River. Will update you on where you will meet to pick up cookies.  THANK YOU!
Cookie Booths season starts March 27th-April 18th
Money Due to Troop Leader: April 19th.

PLEASE, if you have ANY questions do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help. Jill will be officially in charge of collecting money/cookies. So, she is a great resource to use if you need help.  Also, GSMW.ORG has tons of information on their Cookies link to help us with all this new stuff. You can always look there.
As always this is up to you and your girl on how much you want to participate with cookie sales. The Girls have lots of great things to learn with this program, it is not just about the money for our troop.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOU DO TO MAKE
