Girl Scouts of California's Central Coast
Highlighting Girl Stories
This week's Cookie Alert highlight features Girl Scout Brownie Camille (8 years old) from Troop 65231. Marcella reached out to council media letting us know Camille is having a blast selling cookies this season. Her goal was at 1500 boxes and she has surpassed her goal and sold 1652 boxes! Even though she’s met her goal, she is so excited to continue to sell. She loves how excited people are when they see her cookie booth. She also likes to hear the stories of when others were in Girls Scouts when they were young. We asked Camille what she wants to be when she grows up and she said "a veterinarian because I want to help animals." She also shared a fun memory in Girl Scouting to which she replied "I went to the San Diego safari and got to spend the night. We woke up to see rhinos and elephants! It was the highlight of my life! We also saw a tiger run full speed." We are so happy to hear our Girl Scouts enjoying new adventures, reaching their goals, and ensuring more lasting memories for years to come through the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
 
Girl Scout Week- Happy Birthday Girl Scouts!
Girl Scouts’ birthday, March 12, commemorates the day in 1912 when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the organization’s first 18 members in Savannah, Georgia. Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March, starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday, and it always includes Girl Scouts’ birthday, March 12.

Join us each day as we celebrate our worldwide sisterhood. Try the games and activities for each day or join us at an event!

Everyone can take part—whether you’re an independent Juliette, in a troop, an adult member/volunteer, or an alum. It’s easy!

Booth opportunities can be at troop secured booth locations only. Our council’s current contracts end with our current locations March 12th. Boothing opportunities after March 12th will only be available by a troop secure booth process. Current council secured locations can not be approached for a troop secured location.
