Setting high troop goals, building business
and communication skills, serving the community - these are some of
the powerful themes of action-packed Girl Scout troops and groups.
By helping your Girl Scout participate in Cookie Activities, you are
encouraging her to discover her unique talents and skills. Girls
taking part in Girl Scout Cookie Activities discover the power of
girls and adults working together for fun, friendship and purpose.
And she will learn life skills that will last a lifetime. Through
the Cookie Activity Girl Scouts today are preparing for
tomorrow!
Help your Girl Scout set goals for this years Cookie Activities.
Discuss together her personal and troop/group goals.
Help her set personal goals that will
increase her Life Skills.
What would she llike to learn? Planning? Decision-making? Public
speaking? Entrepreneurship? The goals she chooses should be separate
from how many packages of cookies she hopes to sell. Ask her how you
can help her reach these personal goals.
Find out her Girl Scout troop/group goals and what plans they
have made to use the money earned from their Cookie Activities. Troops or groups that take the time to brainstorm together, and set
goals together, typically sell at least 30 more packages per girl.
Check with her periodically to see how the troop/group is
progressing.
Congratulate her when she is successful. When there are setbacks,
help transform her disappointment into a positive by asking her what
she thinks she may to differently the next time. Thank you for
encouraging and supporting your Girl Scout in all of her Girl Scout
and Cookie Activities.
