March Girl Scouts meeting...

March and Girls Scouts.... this month is wrap up of cookies sales.... we sold 1926 boxes as a troop! Ya!  

We are giving 10$ per girl to Back Pack buddies and also donated a total of 15 boxes to the OR Food Bank.

We worked on Goals (setting and meeting those that we set) and finding out who our customers are and how we can better reach them... who buys cookies and who does not... what can we do instead if they are not into the cookies.
Each girl earned a badge... Give Back or Customer insights.... I am very proud of how we did this year with Cookies Sales!  way to go!

Lastly we each had a cute Easter craft!!! Its a UNICORN egg!

Until next month!!
