Troop 3480 will receive a portion of every box of cookies sold. Girl will use cookie proceeds to achieve their goals. The girls have gotten their cookie training and are ready to get started in the largest girl-lead business across the world.

Sis. Zakiya will be Troop 3480’s Cookie Manager For the 2012-2013 cookie season. Cookie sales is serious business, and can only be successful with the help and dedication of parents.

When: Saturday, February 16, 2013, 9AM – 5PM
Where: Newseum 555 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20001

This program offers an exciting look at the role journalism plays in society. Girl Scouts navigate the museum’s displays and interactive exhibits, wich chronicle hundreds of years of news history and the power of freedom of speech.

Registration is now open for this GSCNC Signature Event. Click here to register for Girl Scouts Get the Scoop Day at the Newseum. Cost is $8 per person (several dollars less than the regular museum group rate) and includes museum entry and a pass allowing access to special tours, games, presentations and art activities, with an emphasis on the role of women in the news, the impact of youth leaders and the Girl Scouts. Girls will also have the opportunity to share what they’ve learned and earn prizes. An optional event patch can be ordered for $1 each. Registration ends on January 2, 2013.

Learn more about the Newseum at www.newseum.org.

Girl Scouts Get the Scoop – Day at the Newseum is made possible by a generous major gift from longtime GSCNC volunteer Penny Halpern.
