2008 Cookie Program - January 5 to March 2

This year, Make it a Hit! This show-stopping Cookie Program theme uses theater arts to put girls in the spotlight. Girls will discover that it takes all kinds of talents to make their cookie production a spectacular success. While practicing and performing, girls develop self-confidence, use their imaginations and build self esteem. Most importantly, girls will learn that hits don’t just happen. They’re made… through imagination, rehearsal, commitment, teamwork and the sharing of every person’s unique talents.

Get Inspired!
Make It a Hit! is a Cookie Season theme that puts girls as leaders in the spotlight! The Cookie Program is the perfect stage for showcasing both the language and new direction of the Girl Scout Leadership Development Program. Why not adopt “Make It a Hit!” as a year long theme? Challenge girls to brainstorm fun, theme-related activities that allow them to discover, connect and take action in their community.

For example, encourage girls to consider:
  • Choosing a play to attend and arranging for a backstage tour
  • Having an overnight with a movie theme
  • Helping younger girls put on a puppet show
  • Volunteering to usher at a community theater
Be sure to help girls look for the various kinds of talents and leadership that make a single event successful.

GSCB will continue to recognize all girls who participate in the annual Cookie Program as well as those who attain special levels of participation, including the 500+ Clubs! Watch for details at leader meetings and as they're posted here.
