Where Learning Comes First - It's All About Girls! Your daughter's Group Leader is a vital link to the success of her future!  

What role does your daughter's Group Leader play in the cookie sale?

	To teach confidence, teamwork and organization.
	To help navigate the goal-setting process.
	To teach social and business skills that last beyond the Cookie Sale activity.
	To provide guidance, leadership and encouragement  for girls.
	To generate excitement and FUN!

Through team goal setting and interaction, girls will discover that the world is full of possibilities, both now and in the future. By working as a team, girls will develop the skills they need to realize their dreams. They can do whatever they want to do and be whatever they want to be. For today's Girl Scouts, the possibilities truly are unlimited!

This year Little Brownie Bakers is pleased to offer a colorful booklet for girls to enjoy and share with their families. It's full of cookie fun facts, word games, and fill-in-the-blank activities that only girls can answer! An autograph page of cookie discs invites girls to dream big and share their dreams for success with their family and friends. Use of this wonderful piece will ensure girls who are both inspired and informed for this year's cookie sale activity.

This year's approach to the cookie sale sets the step for girls:

Teaches girls how to set goals.

Demonstrates the value of fair play, cooperation, and personal achievement.

Gives girls the skills to be good team players.

Helps girls understand that they can achieve greater success as a team that each girl can accomplish individually.

Develops the concept that girls belong to a larger team: the Girl Scout movement and the community.

Builds confidence.

Gives girls a feeling of self-worth.

Results in long-lasting friendships.

...AND IT'S FUN!

To enforce the team concept, Girl Scouts of Central Maryland encourages groups and girls to set goals that will enrich and develop both the girl and the team members in the group. Goal-setting is the first step to a successful cookie sale activity.
