Very simplistically, Thinking Day is a day in February set aside for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world to "think" about each other and the world wide organization they belong to.

Why do I have to have a cookie parent? What are the responsibilities? |
|
Well, you could act as cookie parent but, aren't you doing enough? Seriously, the cookie parent manages the cookie sale for your troop. Among other things, she/he attends all training, manages booth sales, and manages the money. It is a big responsibility so you should have someone in the role that you feel very confident in. The cookie parent must be a registered adult in Girl Scouts as they are handling troop money. Fore more information, see our Cookie Page. |

What is the Neighborhood Campout? |
|
Each year in the late spring, our Neighborhood sponsors a campout for the troops in our Neighborhood. The girls take part in crafts, songs, skits, and other fun activities. They also have a swap exchange that is a big hit! News about the campout will be made available as soon as a site is secured. It takes alot of volunteers to make the campout a success so, think about contributing your time and talents! |

Are Daisy's included in the Campout? |
