GSNC’s 2013 Top Cookie Sellers led their fellow Girl Scouts on a virtual “behind the scenes” tour of Little Brownie Bakers; all while sharing their insight on setting goals, selling cookies, dreaming big and staying safe! Girl Scouts who took part in the celebration also got crafty, making marketing tools which will help them reach their 2014 cookie goals. Cookies weren’t the only activities that girls got to take part in; there were S.W.A.P. pits and a dance party as well. It truly was a celebration! A special thank you to all those who volunteered at the Cookie Celebration and helped to make it a success!  Some Cadette Volunteers show off their Cookie Chef’s Hat at the Cookie Crafts Room. Girl Scouts celebrated Girl Scout Cookies by getting active with some dancing. The GSNC Ceremonial Unit opens the ceremony with the Pledge of Allegiance and the Girl Scout Promise.
