                                            begin Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011! Get ready to practice
                                              your sales pitch and get out there! Selling cookies will
                                                help you learn business ethics, money management,
                                                   leadership and people skills. Talk to friends and family
                                                     and tell them all about how cookies help you and your
                                                     troop. Don’t be afraid to ask your leader questions or ask
                                                   for tips. Practice your sales pitch with your fellow troop
                                               members or your parents. Take the lead! Our council’s goal is to sell
                                              1.4 million boxes of cookies. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest
                                                 girl-led business in the country and you’re part of it! Girl Scout cookies
                                                  are not only yummy but they help your troop do your favorite activities. Sit
                                                    down with your troop to set realistic goals for cookie sales and decide what
                                                    you want to do with the Cookie Credits you collect. Credits can take you to
                                                    summer camp, help you travel, help your community and more. Plus you

                                        how we should celebrate 100 years strong with Girl Scouts. If you have a

Stay Involved and Make New Friends
  Ambassador Girl Scout Jessica Kennedy of Colby certainly knows how to make new friends, and keep them! As a
12-year member of Girl Scouts, Jessica has been able to enjoy a wide variety of exciting Girl Scout experiences. Her most
memorable experience was serving on the national board of lmk.girlscouts.org, an online safety Web site created for
girls and their parents by GSUSA and Microsoft Windows.
 “Being involved with LMK was awesome!,” said Jessica.
“I got to go to Seattle and New York, and                                                                                 I
made the most amazing friends.”
  By using text messages and Facebook, these 10 girls from
across the US have remained close, and are even planning a
trip to North Carolina together in the summer of 2011. Jessica
thinks of the group as a “little family” and plans on keeping
in touch even after high school.
  “I’ve been able to do so many things because I stayed in
Girl Scouting,” said Jessica. “Our troop has helped our
local community through service projects, and now I even
have close friends across the country. There are so many
opportunities, even scholarships! I would encourage all
Girl Scouts to stay involved.”                                   Jessica Kennedy, Colby (center), along with Elizabeth

                                            knew where they were going (besides parents
                                            who received an itinerary). The first stop in the
                                            trip was to visit with Dr. Trent Davis, neurologist,
                                            and learn more about how the body works as well
as career choices for those interested. Girls were able to explore how our nervous system
and muscles work together in our bodies. The next stop on the mystery trip was Central
Kansas Foundation (CKF) . CKF works with the community to prevent and treat alcohol and
substance abuse. The girls were able to learn about why it is critically important to stay away
from alcohol and drugs. The final stop on the trip was the YMCA where girls learned about
nutrition and healthy eating, exercise and stress relief. Girls were able to enjoy a session
of Yoga to relieve the stresses of the day.

  • 1. G S K H December 2010 and January 2011 Jump For Joy – It’s Cookie Time! It’s the most wonderful time of the year; Cookie Sales begin Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011! Get ready to practice your sales pitch and get out there! Selling cookies will help you learn business ethics, money management, leadership and people skills. Talk to friends and family and tell them all about how cookies help you and your troop. Don’t be afraid to ask your leader questions or ask for tips. Practice your sales pitch with your fellow troop members or your parents. Take the lead! Our council’s goal is to sell 1.4 million boxes of cookies. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the country and you’re part of it! Girl Scout cookies are not only yummy but they help your troop do your favorite activities. Sit down with your troop to set realistic goals for cookie sales and decide what you want to do with the Cookie Credits you collect. Credits can take you to summer camp, help you travel, help your community and more. Plus you can earn fun incentives for selling cookies! More on pg. 2.

Stay Involved and Make New Friends Ambassador Girl Scout Jessica Kennedy of Colby certainly knows how to make new friends, and keep them! As a 12-year member of Girl Scouts, Jessica has been able to enjoy a wide variety of exciting Girl Scout experiences. Her most memorable experience was serving on the national board of lmk.girlscouts.org, an online safety Web site created for girls and their parents by GSUSA and Microsoft Windows. “Being involved with LMK was awesome!,” said Jessica. “I got to go to Seattle and New York, and I made the most amazing friends.” By using text messages and Facebook, these 10 girls from across the US have remained close, and are even planning a trip to North Carolina together in the summer of 2011. Jessica thinks of the group as a “little family” and plans on keeping in touch even after high school. “I’ve been able to do so many things because I stayed in Girl Scouting,” said Jessica. “Our troop has helped our local community through service projects, and now I even have close friends across the country. There are so many opportunities, even scholarships! I would encourage all Girl Scouts to stay involved.” Jessica Kennedy, Colby (center), along with Elizabeth Wasinger, Wichita (far right), met new friends while visiting Learn more about Jessica and Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, Washington as part of lmk.girlscouts.org. online safety at lmk.girlscouts.org.
