Girl Post: Talk It Up and Count It Up

Please share this information and do these activities with your girl. If I was a bit more (prepared, organized, together, experienced, etc.), I would have done this with the girls last night. Part of it we did do together...My apologies! :) 

In the Count It Up Lesson to earn that leaf badge, it talks all about the selling of cookies. 1) Talk to your girl about how much each box of cookies cost ($3.50). Practice putting that much money together with different coins and bills. Try putting money together for 2 boxes.
2) To sell cookies, the girls need to know what kinds they have to sell. Go over the order form with your girl and talk about each kind of cookie. 
3) And we already set sales goals with your girls! Maybe create a poster with the number of boxes your girl wants to sell and cross out for each one she does. Even Aubrey was low when I asked her: 10. And then she changed it to 15 boxes. Ha! Have fun selling :) 

In the Talk It Up Lesson to earn that leaf badge, it talks about the girls taking part of the largest business run by GIRLS in the whole world! That's pretty cool :) It also talks about how to use our cookie money in our community and I emailed a local representative in Isle of Wight to get that ball rolling. 

A step that you can have your girls take is to inspire customers! Customers want to feel that they are helping girls do something important when they buy cookies. If they like the way the girls will spend the money, they might buy even more cookies! 

Practice saying these things:
"Every cookie helps girls do great things! The money we earn will help us help the poor."

"We are Girl Scout Daisies and we help lead the largest girl-run business in the world!"
