Girl Scouts Troop 60416

02/29/2024

Alrighty y'all, if you've been waiting to get your cookies you need to hurry! Girl Scout cookie season is coming to an end for 2024. Your local Eastman Girl Scouts Troop 60416 is having just 2 more booths until we're done for this year!

On Friday 3/1 we'll be at Daylight Donuts of Cochran LLC from 4-6pm.

On Saturday 3/2 we'll be at Eastman Walmart from noon-2pm or until the cookies run out.

We're already sold out of Toffee-tastics and Adventurefuls. We're running low on Lemon-Ups, S'mores and Tagalongs.

If you want to ensure you get the cookies you want, you can order on Nikki's website (link below in comments) and pick them up at either of the cookie booths. For the delivery address, either put in "daylight donuts" or "walmart" so we know when to bring your cookies.

We are not holding cookies without payment because last year we ended up with leftovers that people requested but never picked up or paid for.

Girl Scout cookies are in!!! This is what 125 cases of cookies looks like. LOL Nikki has high hopes of selling 250 cases so she can earn a trip to Sea World in Orlando.

Want us to bring Nikki's cookie wagon to your job? Let me know the business and address and we'll stop by for you to buy your cookies.

All varieties are $5 a box again this year. We have: Adventurefuls, Do-si-dos, Lemon-Ups, Samoas, S'mores, Tagalongs, Thin Mints, Toffee-tastic, and Trefoils.

Where we'll be this week selling cookies:

Monday Feb 5th from noon - 2pm Nikki will be pulling her decorated wagon thru downtown Eastman

Wednesday Feb 7th from noon - 2pm Nikki will be pulling her decorated wagon thru downtown Hawkinsville

Thursday Feb 8th from noon - 2pm Nikki will be pulling her decorated wagon thru downtown Cochran

Saturday Feb 10th from noon - 2pm will be our first cookie booth at Walmart in Eastman

Want to support your local Girl Scouts but don't eat cookies? We have a buy a box for local first responders. You help support Girl Scouts, help Nikki get closer to her selling goals, and our local first responders get a thank you in the form of some cookies.

So, y'all ready for some Girl Scout cookies? Nikki's selling cookies again this year and her goal is even loftier than last year! She's aiming to be a "Super Seller Superstar" and sell 5,000 boxes!!!
Anyhow, the cookies are not arriving until around the 2nd week of February but we're taking pre-orders now for delivery. The pre-ordering is open until tomorrow night at midnight when it will shut down for a few days for the system to do its thing, then it will open back up again after they get everything sorted for our initial cookie orders.
Don't want to pre-order? That's fine! We'll be in town set up at various locations between Feb 9 thru March 10. Plus Nikki will have her wagon decorated to walk thru downtown just like she did last year, though I'm not sure how she's going to decorate it to top last year's cute wagon set-up. No, we don't have times and dates yet as I'm still in the process of setting those up, but once I do y'all will be the first to know.
Thank you for supporting Nikki, her goals, and the Girl Scouts!

That's right! You can order your favorite Girl Scout Cookies from me online, all while helping my troop and I do great things in our community and beyond! Check it out.

Twas The Week Before Cookies
Written by Jordan Burch
Inspired by, "Twas The Night Before Christmas"

Twas the week before cookies and all through the house. This leader was not sleeping, no she was cleaning spaces out. For boxes of cookies they'll go ceiling to floor and in hopes that good people will continue to buy more.

Her girls they have goals and prizes there's many. Most aim for camp, good people keep spending!

Caramel delights or thin mints is the debate, but who cares? We'll sell them in cases, by van loads, or by crate!

We'll have trefoils, chocolate and more. Why would you buy cookies from a regular store? These girls they are fiesty and learning such skill. Please help the girl scouts with all your good will.

That leader she's crazy and bugging you I know. But you'll never see anyone encourage like "you can do it!" Or "go, go, go!!"

Now the girl scouts are nestled all snug in their beds, while this crazy cookie season is about to fill their heads.
💚

Cookies will be available soon so stay tuned! Thank you in advance for supporting your local Girl Scouts!

Girl Scout cookie season is almost here. I'll be posting when they're available for pre-orders (sometime next week) and we're going to start having cookie stands Feb 9th.

All cookies will be $5.00 a box just like last year and the varieties we'll have are: Adventurefuls, Do-si-dos, Lemon-Ups, Samoas, S'mores, Tagalongs, Thin Mints, Toffee-tastic, and Trefoils.
FYI There will be -no- Raspberry Rally this year.

Anyhow, as the troop leader I'm on the hunt for:
(1) businesses that we can set up and cookie stand in front of (we have stands between Feb 9th thru March 10th) and
(2) food businesses that are interested in us coming to talk with you the weekend of Feb 16-18th for National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend about the possibility of your business serving limited time treats and desserts made using Girl Scout cookies.

So if you own a business that would be interested please get ahold of me. Or if you know of someone who owns a business that may be interested please tag them or let them know. Thanks!

Today is "National Encouragement Day" and Nikki painted rocks, many with encouraging words, and we left them in town today at the places we visited. She said she felt like the Easter Bunny and wants to do it again soon. In the meantime, there's 20 left in various outdoor spots. 😊 If you find one it would be great if you'd share so she knows. Thanks!

Busy painting rocks to leave around Dodge County, GA tomorrow for National Encouragement Day. Some are simply painted, but many have positive or encouraging words on them with the paintings.

Thanks for the idea! 😊

Nikki and I first went to Rockin N Stables on a Girl Scout adventure last year. We loved it, the horses, and the owner so much that we try to go back once a month to go riding even tho it's over 2 hours away. Today was Nikki's 10th Birthday and we got to go riding today! Thanks Rockin N Stables for a great day!!! ❤️

We took a drive to Grovetown today to celebrate World Thinking Day with a bunch of other Girl Scouts. What a blast we had!

Nikki made rainbow themed SWAPs to exchange and they were such a big hit she ran out. As she was receiving swaps she had me pinning them to the back side of her vest.

We sampled a lot of different foods from all over the world! Learned a lot about other countries and cultures. Plus we had LOTS of fun! ❤️

Thank You Eastman (and neighboring small towns) for your support during this year's cookie season! We SOLD OUT of cookies! YAY!!! 🤩🥰 Even though girl cookie sales are over, if you still need a cookie fix, you can order cookies thru the link to have them shipped direct to you from the bakery but only thru March 18th.

Nikki opted to use the troop funds raised to go to not just 1, but 2 camping adventures! An Alice in Wonderland themed camp in Lizella along with a Hawaii themed camp down in Ray City. Plus, just like with school fundraisers the girls earn prizes based on how much they sell. Nikki reached her initial goal of earning a big dolphin plushie and then made a stretch goal of earning a handheld 3D pen - a goal that she reached yesterday just in time!

We will be heading to the council office in Lizella this coming week to wrap up cookie business and paperwork. Plus, one day next week we will be bringing the boxes of cookies that were donated to the local 1st responders so stay tuned for pics from that.
