Girl Scouts and Cookies

This past fall, Cadence joined Girl Scouts.  She absolutely loves it.  They have meetings at the Solon Public Library one a month on Monday nights from 5:30 to 7.  In fact, they are having one right now, and I am sitting in the library bored out of my mind.  Which is, of course, probably the only reason I thought to do a blog on Cadence and her Girl Scout activities.  

In addition to the meetings, they also do monthly outings.  In January, they had Girl Scout day with the Hawkeyes.  They went to Carver and spent the day with the Iowa Women's basketball team - getting autographs, having a cheer camp, and then they got to cheer on the Hawks!  Cadence had a great time, and was very excited to learn that she earned 2 patches just for going!  For the girls, it's a big deal to have a lot of patches.  Since Cadence just started and most of the girls have already been in GS for a few years, she has some catching up to do.  

It's that time of the year when GS cookies are all the rage.  Cadence's goal for her first year selling the cookies is 150 boxes.  I thought it was a little high, but I know that she will try her best to reach it.  She is a little bummed that some of the girls have already sold over 200 boxes in the first week of sales (SERIOUSLY!?), but she is excited to put on her GS vest and proudly ask people if they would like to purchase any GS cookies.  She makes her favorite cookie known to everyone we talk to.... Lemonades.  She's also a big fan of Thin Mints.  New this year, the girls have the cookies in stock.  NO WAITING FOR COOKIES! 

If anyone would like to help an adorable little Girl Scout reach her goal of selling 150 boxes (and get delicious cookies in the process) let us know!
