We Love Our Leaders – No Foolin’!
April is “We Love Our Leaders” month and this year we are
celebrating with a No Foolin’ T-Shirt Sale! Every t-shirt in the
store is on sale for 10 percent off April 1 – 24 (offer valid on
in-store purchases only; no phone, fax, or Internet orders).
New to your Girl Scout Stores is our very own recycle-themed
t-shirt. “Peace, Love Recycle!” is printed on a snazzy black tee in
bright colors. This shirt is only $13 and is available in both girl
and adult sizes – perfect for matching troop tees. Remember – all
tee shirts are 10 percent off April 1 - 24! We also have new polar
bear tees and a few other new styles.
Check out the two new Groovy Girls, plush polar bears and velvety
soft frogs. These are perfect items for girls to spend their Cookie
Dough on.
Also new are our very own GSWCF grocery-style totes. These
environmentally-friendly totes hold tons of stuff (over a case of
cookies!), and are very reasonably priced at just $1.50 each.
Consider purchasing a few of these totes for your future Girl Scout
Store shopping and help us “Go Green.”
Bridging and badge season is quickly approaching. We have seen lots
of troops purchase uniforms for their bridging girls from troop
proceeds. Start thinking now of ways to present your end of year
recognitions. For starters, you will want to purchase a selection of
Girl Scout party ware, including paper plates, cups, napkins and
plastic tablecloths, all in festive colors that girls and adults
will enjoy. Perhaps badges stapled to a lanyard or in a Swaps bag;
we have new mugs in stock - wrap them up in a cup! Pick up your
bridges, certificates and membership stars to get ready for your
bridging ceremony.
We have special gift items for award recipients. A sterling silver
trefoil necklace would be perfect for your Silver Award recipient.
Gift items for all are available in all price ranges. Visit your
nearest store today to see our selection.
On the Road
Your Girl Scout Stores will be represented at GSWCF’s Annual Meeting
on April 18. Visit us at USF! Have you planned your adult uniform
for the meeting? Navy blue business attire is what is mandated for
adults. We have official scarves and pins in store now to help you
prepare to look your best for the meeting.
Thanks to all of you for shopping at your Girl Scout Stores, where
the dollars you spend stay within our council and fund quality girl
programs and services to our adult members.
