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.
