Remember the cookie sale ends April 14th. We’re also going to be holding booth sales. Make sure you sign up for one. Remember, the sales from the booth sales are shared between girls to increase their prize level.

Hershey Park

Our end the year trip will be camping at Hershey Park! The cost of the trip is $80 and includes admission, food, transportation and camping. We’ll be sleeping in tents at the Hershey Park Campground.The trip is June 1st and 2nd. A non-refundable deposit of $30 is due April 5th. Girls can earn 30¢per box sold, to cover the rest of the trip. We only have 45 spaces on the bus, so unless you plan to drive, make sure your deposit is timely. All Daisies must be accompanied by an adult. The final payment is due May 17th and will be adjusted for cookie sales.

Dues, Dues, Dues!

Don’t forget-Girl scouts dues were payable in October, November and December. Even if you receive financial assistance for registration from the council, you are still responsible for your troop dues. Dues covers, books, snacks, materials. You are required to be current on your dues to participate in cookie sales. Individual dues notices, will go home on Wednesday, February 27th.

Mighty Girl Derby!

We had a great time racing cars last year. This year’s Mighty Girl Derby is scheduled for Sunday, May 19th. Cars are $20 per girl. Start planning your design now! Sign up early so you can get your car as soon as they become available. And, yes, there will be another car design workshop. More details to follow.
