Girls - what was your favorite badge that you earned this year and why? Leaders - what was your favorite badge or Journey book to work on with your girls this year and why? We invite you to share your accomplishments with the larger Girl Scout community.
If you're a Junior, there's still time to register for Take Action Mini-Sleepaway Weekend at Camp Kaufmann on July 12-14. Girls will explore the challenges facing our environment today and learn how to take action! They also will experience our climbing wall and archery range. Juniors who come to this session will fully earn the Camper Badge and will work on parts of the Agent of Change Journey Book. Check out the brochure and register today: http://www.girlscoutsnyc.org/uploaded/files/camp/camp%20online%20brochure%206-10-13.pdf
If you're a Cadette, there's still time to register for Night Crawlers at Camp Kaufmann on June 28-30! Camp turns into a whole different environment at night. Cadettes will experience an electricity-free night, star-gazing, a bat and insect hike, and a campout, and the daylight hours will be filled with fun on the archery range and the ropes course as girls complete the requirements for the Night Owl and Trailblazing Badges. Check out the brochure: http://www.girlscoutsnyc.org/uploaded/files/camp/camp%20online%20brochure%206-10-13.pdf
You may know that last week, we honored fifty young women from throughout New York with the Girl Scout Gold Award, our highest honor, for their acts of community service. But do you know all about their amazing projects? Throughout the summer, we'll be sharing them with you right here on Facebook! Rachel of Troop 4382 in Queens collected lap robes for senior centers, children’s hospitals, and Hurricane Sandy victims. Inspired initially by wounded veterans’ stories, she decided that through giving a personalized handmade gift to those in need, she could bring a smile to those who were less fortunate.
What can Girl Scout Cookies do? Writes K. Porcher of North Riverdale Troop 1477: "The Girl Scouts saved their cookie money to purchase their new vests and attend the 100th Anniversary GSGNY Bridge Crossing event. They bridged from Juniors to Cadettes and were able to put their cookie money towards new Binders, Journey Books, Cadette vests as well as go on the 100th Anniversary Bridge Crossing so they could 'officially' bridge to Cadettes. They were able to have fun, attend the historic GSGNY Council event, and afford their new uniforms. They are 'smart Cookies.' See attached photos of this financially savvy troop. THAT'S what a cookie can do!"
Check out this great NY1 piece on our CEP girls at camp: http://www.ny1.com/content/183691/bronx-middle-schoolers-in-girl-scouts-career-exploration-program-participate-in-camp Middle schoolers at five Bronx schools are getting a unique experience, one they might not have if it wasn't for the Girl Scouts of Greater New York's Career Exploration Program, which reaches out to girls in disadvantaged neighborhoods. www.ny1.com
Sunday is Father's Day! Click on the link below to see the message from Rose M. Littlejohn, our Board President, and Barbara Murphy-Warrington, our CEO, to all those dads out there who support and encourage their daugthers every day to make the world a better place. www.girlscoutsnyc.org
Jo-Anne and Debbie of Brownie Troop 3451 tell us: "Our GS Cookie Troop 3451 sold 3,452 boxes of cookies this year. "Our girls voted on a service goal to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy at the start of our cookie selling program. When the program was finished, they selected the NY Aquarium as the recipient of their efforts. We had a representative from the NY Aquarium come to meet the girls and tell them about the devastation and the rebuilding efforts at our last meeting. The girls donated $1,200 to the aquarium. Attached is a photo of our Brownies with Kate Fitzgerald from the NY Aquarium - Wildlife Conservation Society. "In addition, the girls chose to help the ASPCA whose HQ is in our neighborhood. They donated blankets, towels, toys and food to the ASPCA. The girls toured the facilities and presented their representatives with a check for $500. "Their fun goal was a pajama party." Isn't it amazing how big a difference cookies can make?

As you may know, the Girl Scout Cookie Sale is the largest girl-led Business & Entrepreneurship program in the world. Through their cookie sales, Girl Scouts learn five essential skills that equip them to succeed in school, work and beyond: •Money Management •Decision Making •Goal Setting •People Skills •Business Ethics We have developed the Cookie University program as a way for girls to develop and build on these skills through engaging in fun, hands-on interactive activities centered around the Cookie Sale and learning from older girls, who have Cookie Sale experience, when possible. In Fall 2012, we launched our first-ever Cookie University and Cookie University Mentor Training. At Cookie University Mentor Training at ING Direct Café, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors had the unique opportunity to learn from and engage with professionals from a range of fields such as Business, Finance, Marketing, Customer Service and Sales. They learned about these fields and what it takes to work in them successfully. They also gained invaluable firsthand knowledge and skills that they can apply to selling cookies and planning for their future careers. Girls also worked together to design a plan for sharing their newfound knowledge and skills with Brownies at our Cookie University. At Cookie University at The Cooper Union, Brownies learned from Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors about how to succeed in their cookie sales. The older girls taught and mentored the Brownies and shared the invaluable knowledge and skills they gained at their workshop and their own cookie sales experiences. Brownies developed and built on their knowledge and skill sets in the areas of Goal-Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics. They "graduated" from Cookie University ready to tackle and excel in their entrepreneurial endeavors! In addition to offering these special initiatives, we have developed a Cookie University Mentor Training curriculum for Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors (go to www.girlscoutsnyc.org to download curricula) and this webinar to help teach you to use the curriculum. Webinars and curriculum are also available for Daisies and Brownies, to be used in conjunction with this training on www.girlscoutsnyc.org and our YouTube channel. These curricula are meant to serve as guides for Troop Leaders and Parents to offer the Cookie University program either to their troops at their troop meetings or for them, their Borough Program Committee and/or Service Unit to organize their own Multi-Troop, Borough-Wide or Service Unit events.

They "graduated" from Cookie University ready to tackle and excel in their entrepreneurial endeavors! In addition to offering these special initiatives, we have developed a Cookie University curriculum for Brownies (go to www.girlscoutsnyc.org to download curricula) and this webinar to help teach you to use the curriculum. Webinars and curriculum are also available for Daisies and for the Cookie University Mentor Training for Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors on www.girlscoutsnyc.org and our YouTube channel. These curricula are meant to serve as guides for Troop Leaders and Parents to offer the Cookie University program either to their troops at their troop meetings or for them, their Borough Program Committee and/or Service Unit to organize their own Multi-Troop, Borough-Wide or Service Unit events.
