Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God* and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

SMART Cookie and SMART Goals

We have set our troop goal of 1980 boxes of cookies. The girls each set their personal selling goal on Monday, discovered what SMART goals are and we discussed our 2 troop goals; 1 fun reward goal and 1 Cookies for Change goal.

SMART GOALS:
Slide 2
S = Specific Goals
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Realistic
T = Timely


The proceeds that our troop receives from the cookie sales ($.50 per box) will go towards these events. On Monday, Jan 12 - we will focus in on the specifics of these goals. We DISCOVERED that we are interested in helping our environment by recycling. We will CONNECT our cookie sales with our goal project. We will TAKE ACTION by completing this project in the spring.

A part of the SMART Cookie try-it is to create a profile for cookie sales and work on a sales pitch.

We are using the "Cookie Club" to keep this process paperless. Please visit: LittleBrownie.com
We went over the Goal Tracker, Setting Goals and Managing Contacts during Monday's meeting.


You can email your friends and family to let them know that it is almost time for cookie sales. If you would like to share the blog so they can see all of the fun service projects we have done so far this year, that would be great!

Please Remember: NO COOKIE SALES UNTIL JANUARY 17! and NO INTERNET SELLS!
Thanks!
We CAN change the world!
