Make it outstanding! Go solo or work in a group. Girls should bring their sign to the troop meeting on Friday, February 14, 2014. Several signs will be picked to represent Troop 3480 at the Cookie Booths.

Initial Cookie Orders Due Jan. 16
All initial cookie order counts are due January 16, by 10pm via email only to:

zakiya [dot] zaid [at] gmail [dot] com

Please make sure to share this with girls whose parents do not follow the blog. Orders that are not emailed will be not be submitted with the initial cookie order.

Jamila Doe, Daisy

Samoas: 5 boxes

Thin Mints: 10 boxes

Trefoils: 3 boxes

Do-si-dos: 4 boxes

Tagalongs: 1 box

Savannah Smiles: 7 boxes

If you have more than one girl selling cookies, list each girl’s cookie orders separately. Cookie Goals are per girl, not per family.

Cookie Transport
Parents are needed to volunteer for cookie pick up for the Troop on February 10. The more parents we have to transport cookies the quicker it will be. Please see Sis. Zakiya at the Friday meeting for more info.

Cookie Incentives
Each girl should aim to sell a minimum of 75 boxes of cookies. These can be sold individually or through cookie booths. Selling at cookie booths is an easy way for your girl to increase her cookie sales totals. Selling 75 boxes of cookies will qualify your daughter for special prizes at the Cookie Party after the 2013-14 Cookie Season ends. Girls who do not sell 75 or more boxes will also be able to attend.

Last Troop Meeting of 2013: Friday, Dec 20.

troopMeetingFridayAsalaamu Alaikum

Friday, December 20, is the last meeting of 2013. Here is what’s happening:

2013-14 Cookie Season Begins
Cookies sales begin this Friday. Parents must attend a Parent Cookie Meeting with the Cookie Mom, Zakiya, at 6:30PM to sign the Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital paperwork if their girls want to sell cookies.

Trip Permission Slips & Payments
This Friday is the last day to turn in money for Winter Wonders Walks at Camp Winona on Jan. 18. This is a pre-paid event so there will be no refunds. All questions about trips should go to Sis. Kesha via email or phone. Please do not call her the day of a trip because permission slips are not accepted the day of events.

Investiture & Rededication
On Friday, Jan. 3, 2014 — our first troop meeting of 2014 — we will be pinning new girls and troop leaders, and rededicating girls to Girl Scout Troop 3480. This is one of the many ceremonies in Girl Scouts and we invite parents to join us. Certificates and patches will be presented to girls whose parents have paid dues. (Dues are $45 per girl per year and go towards the purchase of pins, badges and patches, and also supplement trip fees.)
