Girl Scout Sunday<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Preamble of the Constitution of Girl Scouts of the USA notes \u201c<\/em>The motivating force in Girl Scouting is spiritual.\u201d<\/em> Girl Scout Sunday provides an opportunity to for the organization to thank faith-based communities for their partnership and collaboration. It is also an opportunity for Girl Scouts to learn more about their chosen faith and share in one of the oldest traditions of scouting.<\/p>\n

The Past<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Four years ago, my Daisy was the only child in the congregation wearing a uniform on Girl Scout Sunday. Huh? Hold my cookies! What happened in the 30+ years since I had been a Girl Scout? Back then little girls in uniforms filled the pews on this day.\u00a0 Now, in 2015, I looked around at a congregation of hundreds\u2026 and nothing…\u00a0insert sound of crickets chirping.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Present<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In 2016, Girl Scout Troop #1133 in the Kentucky\u2019s Wilderness Road Council began hosting an open Girl Scout Sunday event in conjunction with Hopeful Lutheran Church in Florence, Kentucky. Sunday, March 11, 2018 was the multi-level troop\u2019s most successful kick off to Girl Scout Week in history. Each year, the event\u2019s success grows. Why? Because NO ONE hosts Girl Scout Sunday anymore.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 Tips you can use to start your own event.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Find a Church Sponsor<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Hopeful Lutheran Church<\/a> serves as the meeting location for Troop 1133\u2019s multi-level troop. We set up a meeting with Pastor Blair Fields to plan our event.<\/p>\n

2. Share the Good News<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The members of troop 1133 researched and coordinated graphic design of printed church bulletin inserts and recipe cards with the council\u2019s marketing director. Broadcast professionals mentored the girls\u2019 production of social media and documentary videos.<\/p>\n

3. Feed the Spirit<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Girl Scouts from all over Northern Kentucky attended 9AM and 11AM services at Hopeful Lutheran Church. Each service recognized all Girl Scouts \u2013 past, present and future. The 11AM service played the girls\u2019 special video. It highlighted their year of service work and partnerships with the church. Click here<\/a> to see it.<\/p>\n

4. Feed the Body<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The cookie and green punch reception following the 11AM service is an exciting and highly anticipated opportunity for the congregation to meet and mingle with its favorite girls in green. Now in its third year, the troop has learned a few things about hosting the cookie reception. Take notes here!!! You will want to remember this!<\/p>\n

Cookie Samples Are Nice, But…<\/em><\/h3>\n

2016 \u2013 First Time Out<\/span><\/h3>\n

Guests nibbled a few of our cookies, but GUZZLED our green punch.\u00a0Why? Because Girl Scout Sunday is right in the middle of cookie season. The market is too saturated to generate cookie excitement. But punch<\/em> is EXCITING!\u00a0It provides guests with a sense of nostalgia and an air of gentility. Many elderly guests approach the girls to share memories of scouting and punch socials. We like Paula Deen\u2019s recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2017 \u2013 Try a Gimmick or Two<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. 100th<\/sup> Anniversary of the Girl Scout Cookie<\/em><\/strong> –<\/em> Girls modeled uniforms from the 10 different decades of scouting while mingling with attendees.<\/li>\n
  2. Bakery Wars<\/em><\/strong> \u2013<\/em> Cookies from ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers were displayed in each variety. Attendees were invited to compare packaging, do taste comparisons, and vote for their favorite recipe. Congregation members stayed through the end of the reception as excitement built to see if their cookie and bakery choices won.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2018 \u2013 Iron Clad Formula<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Iron Chef Girls<\/i><\/strong> \u2013<\/em> A small cookie sample bar returned. But, the main attraction was the Iron Chef Table beside our punch bowl. Girls dished out samples of several desserts featuring Girl Scout cookies as the main ingredient. Recipe cards are on the table in front of each dish.<\/p>\n

    You Need A Cookie Booth <\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Pastor Blair Fields came up with this idea. He felt the congregation would appreciate the chance to purchase cookies before leaving church.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5. Get Green to Make It Happen<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    So, you are thinking. \u201cThat\u2019s really nice, but it looks EXPENSIVE!\u201d Here are a few funding options.<\/p>\n

    Set Aside Troop Funds from the Previous Year<\/span><\/h3>\n

    If you have additional funds, set aside a few dollars to host an event. You can start with 3-4 boxes of cookies or just punch.<\/p>\n

    Ask a Sponsor<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Our first year (2016) I donated $100 to fund the event.<\/p>\n
