Volunteers for the

Managers.
Service Unit Cookie Manager
The Service Unit Cookie Manager is
part of the service unit team and is reponsible for coordinating the
efforts of Troop Cookie Managers and
answering questions about the cookie program activity and its
forms.

The Cookie Share program
was
launched in 2004 as a result of the very successful Troop to
Troop Cookie
Caper the previous two years. Girls sell packages of cookies
to
customers, but instead of the customer taking delivery of the cookies,
the cookies are donated to a recipient organization. This is a great
option for people who would like to support Girl Scouts but don't want
the cookies. The council takes care of delivering all the cookies to
the recipient organization.
Last year, Girl Scouts
from
GSCGM collected an incredible 5,700 cases of cookies to be donated to
military and food shelves. The recipient organizations
for 2007 were the following: The Armed Forces Service Center, Operation
MN Nice, Second Harvest Heartland Food Shelves, Sabathani Food Shelf,
Emergency Food Shelf Network, and Interfaith Outreach and Community
Partners, and the ACBC Food Shelves. For 2008 the recipients will be
expanded to include military families, veterans, and other local food
shelves.
STUDIO 2B members are
encouraged to contact local civic organizations (such as the VFW,
American Legion, Lion's Club, etc.) and make a presentation about
Cookie Share in an effort to convince the organization to contribute to
the cause.
