When our daughter entered Girl Scouts last year we were clueless. After a somewhat rocky start we began this year with training, allies, and excited young girls. I have been a leader for a year and a half now and am working hard to help the girls grow and expand. Already feeling overwhelmed and cookie season approaching, my husband stepped forward and went to multiple trainings and did research online to be our cookie manager. He proudly carries his Samoa clipboard and purple cookie tote to every meeting. He helped plan and conduct our local cookie rally where he allowed the girls to paint his fingernails all of the corresponding cookie colors. He helped the girls learn how to be gracious and professional, as well as, how to have fun while reaching their goals. He has tracked sales and done all of the accounting without a flaw. He has been an asset to our troop.
