DEAR GIRL SCOUT FAMILY,
This year’s Cookie Theme “STEP IT UP” stresses the
importance for girls to lead a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle.
The “STEP IT UP” cookie program suggests girls challenge themselves
to go that extra mile and increase their cookie sales from last year.
When you “STEP IT UP” and put all your energy and enthusiasm
into your actions, you’re sure to get awesome results.
This year’s sale starts at 4 PM on Thursday, January 11,
2007.
The cookie sale program is a girl/adult partnership. Every parent is
asked to become involved. Parents are asked to attend their Girl Scout’s
Troop Cookie Meeting and to read all the cookie materials their Girl Scout
brings home. Parents are encouraged to reinforce what the girls have learned
in the troop setting. The life skills of safety, goal setting, communication,
responsibility, courtesy and money management will be a strong foundation
for their entire life. The “STEP IT UP” program materials
encourage girls to lead active, healthy lives and make physical activities
a fun part of their daily routine. So girls, “STEP IT UP”
and put your goals in motion! Make that extra effort to reach out to more
customers than last year and have a fantastic cookie sale program.
Every registered Girl Scout must give her Leader a signed guardian/parent
permission slip before she is allowed to receive her girl order card.
