Do You Have What it Takes to be the Top Cookie?

Every year in Kentucky’s Wilderness Road, thousands of Girl Scouts take to the streets, schools and office complexes to sell Girl Scouts cookies. But at the same time they’re delivering tiny crumbling morsels of joy to hungry Kentuckians, they’re also learning about:

• money management!
• time management!
• goal setting!
• decision making!
• people skills!
• business ethics!

And for teens who’ve been selling cookies since they were Brownies, they’ve had the opportunity to learn all these things and more.

That’s why this Council needs you to make a video telling us about the awesome experiences you’ve had selling cookies!

Be creative! Show us your talents in cookies and video production!

The most phenomenal of all the entries will earn the opportunity to appear on television, radio, in the newspaper and any other place cookies are being promoted. Our Top Cookie will also earn the opportunity to appear as Thin Mint Millie at Council cookie carnivals and other special events.

What are you waiting for? Grab a camera, video camera, laptop or cell phone and start making your video about being this Council’s Top Cookie! There will be one top cookie selected per Cluster!

Find out the details of the Top Cookie contest, including rules and deadlines, here.

Have you ever dreamed of making movies in Hollywood, learning to surf in Costa Rica, or blasting off with Space Camp in Alabama?

These are just a few of the wonderful Destination travel opportunities available to Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador Girl Scouts, and it can be more affordable than you think!  Kentucky’s Wilderness Road has scholarships available that can pay up to half of your Destination expenses, and there are grants available that can cover even more.  You can even use cookie dough to help pay for your Destination!

The first round of applications are due by the end of November.  This is when the most popular Destinations will start to fill, so get us your application soon if you are in love with one of these awesome trips.  Destination sponsors will still take applications for trips that are not full up through January, so you still have time to plan the trip of a lifetime!

Contact Kristina Rouland with any questions you may have about Destinations or Scholarships.  You will also send your applications to Kristina at the Lexington Service Center. krouland@gswrc.org  859-293-2621 extension 245
