We are very excited to celebrate a successful Girl Scout Cookie Program with you at Feed the Need on May 4.

Girls who purchased a Party in a Bag for the National Cookie Sleepover are eligible to attend. Each troop will also be provided with enough adult passes to cover the appropriate adult-to-girl ratio for events per GSUSA regulations.

Stay tuned for more information on distribution of passes as well as concert updates, which will be sent to your email and posted on our website.

River Valleys’ Board Chair Deb Wilkinson recently visited Girl Scouts in Zumbrota, MN to help them practice for the upcoming Girl Scout Cookie Program. They worked on their sales pitch and learned how to count money.

As Girl Scouts progress through the Cookie Program over the years, so do the skills they learn. While the Girl Scout Daisies and Girl Scout Brownies who worked with Deb are learning how to make change, Girl Scout Seniors and Girl Scout Ambassadors are focusing on how to best market their cookies based on customer behavior.

How do your girls get ready? Share with us through Facebook, Twitter, or better yet, have your Girl Scout troop get together and record their best sales pitch to enter our video contest.

National Girl Scout Cookie Day
