mtc_treshortAlhamdulillah! The 2013 Girl Scout Cookie Season has ended. Besides learning fundamental business skills, setting smart goals, making better decisions, managing money, and interacting confidently with customers, the Girls Scouts of Troop 3480 completed their first cookie season with remarkable results:

  • 29 out of 59 of our girl scouts sold cookies
  • Our girl scouts sold $12,004 worth of cookies
  • Our girl scouts earned $2190.73 for our troop
  • Our top 5 sellers sold over 200 boxes each
    1. Lailah – 242 boxes
    2. Asima – 241 boxes
    3. Kalilah – 229 boxes
    4. Nabila – 219 boxes
    5. Asiyah – 205 boxes

We’d like to give appreciation to our (exhausted) Cookie Mom, Sis. Zakiya! We thank our girls’ families and customers for supporting Troop 3480 during our first fabulous cookie season.

New Girl Scout Parent Interest Meeting Saturday, 27 April at 2PM

gs missionDoes your daughter want to be a Girl Scout? Is she interested in becoming one of the leaders of tomorrow? Is she looking for halal fun and friendship? Does she want to build character and self-esteem and serve her community? In Girl Scouts, girls find a safe place to grow and share new experiences, learn to relate to others, develop values, and contribute to society.

Troop 3480 is a Girl Scout Troop located at PGMA for Muslim girls ages 5-17. Parents should attend the mandatory interest meeting on Saturday, April 27, 2 – 4PM at PGMA. This meeting is only for parents whose girls are NOT currently members of Troop 3480.

During this meeting parents will learn about our enriching and exciting Girl Scout Troop comprised of 59 girls, 9 leaders and many parent volunteers. We will answer the following questions:

  • What is Girl Scouts all about?
  • How does my daughter join Troop 3480?
  • What are my responsibilities as a parent of a Girl Scout?
  • How do I become a troop leader/advisor or parent volunteer?

SPACE IS LIMITED! Please be advised that attendance at the meeting will NOT guarantee admission into the troop. Due to girl-to-adult ratio requirements, there will be limited space for the 2013-2014 Girl Scout Year. More troop leaders increases how many girls can participate. Troop leader’s daughters are guaranteed a space in the troop. Any sister interested in becoming a troop leader should email alia [dot] kemet [at] gmail [dot] com for more information.

Please feel free to spread the word. We look forward to meeting you on April 27th. Thank you for your interest in PGMA Girl Scout Troop 3480!
