Today’s Tips 2.16.26

Girl Scouts of all ages are invited to Curiosity Quest on Saturday, April 11 in Winston-Salem! Bring your troop or your whole family- this event is open to everyone, including future Girl Scouts. Come see how curiosity can open doors, inspire new passions and empower girls to dream bigger!

Get ready for a day filled with discovery, creativity and hands-on adventure! Explore a world of curiosity through interactive activities led by special guest facilitators from exciting fields across science, technology, engineering, art and more. From building and creating to problem-solving and experimenting, girls will dive into stations designed to spark imagination and confidence.

Summer camp registrations are open and we are excited for Explore More Camp! View our 2026 Summer Camp Program Guide to discover all the fun we have planned. You will also find a readiness quiz for campers and adults, important information on various savings and assistance as well as a scavenger hunt that could win you a Camp Care Package! Only a $50 deposit is needed to hold your spot, so make sure you take advantage of our early bird discount by March 31 and save $50 on all overnight sessions. 

Bandit’s Tip: 
Have an attitude of gratitude! A thank you goes a long way, and I have a fun card you can use if you like! Follow up with your customers from the beginning of the program to let them know how much their support means to you. Take time to let them know what you are learning and what goals you are focused on because your customers enjoy hearing about this just as much as they enjoy eating cookies. If you are close to reaching a milestone, ask them if they would consider supporting you with one more purchase. Now is a great time to remind everyone that March 15 will be the last chance to buy cookies from you. In all communications, it is important to make your customer feel valued. A personalized card, e-mail or phone call filled with gratitude and positivity can really brighten someone’s day.

And be sure to thank the adults outside of your customer base who are making the Girl Scout Cookie Program possible! The adults chaperoning your booth, your Troop Cookie Manager, your Service Unit Cookie Manager and the friendly faces running cookie cupboard operations are supporting you as your learn and grow through this unique experience.

E-mails went out recently to all Girl Scouts who earned Nut Bucks during the Fall Product Program. If you did not receive an e-mail with your Nut Bucks code, but believe you have earned credit, please contact info@girlscoutsp2p.org. 

Nut Bucks can be used on purchases at any of GSCP2P’s brick-and-mortar shops or camp trading posts, for admission to council events, for summer camp fees and even used to help you travel through council-sponsored pathway trips like GSUSA-sponsored Destinations or GSUSA-sponsored Getaways. Girl Scouts participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program can earn similar credits, Cookie Dough or Daisy Dollars!
