Submitted by Melissa Marty Metro Denver Northglenn Troop 66796 invites you to join The Woods Service Unit to celebrate World Thinking Day 2020! When: Saturday, March 7, 2020 Location: Al Lesser Building 9755 Henderson Rd Brighton Time: 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (check-in and booth setup at 8:30 a.m.) Investment (cost): $10 per girl For the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), leadership is a shared journey which empowers us to work together and bring positive change to our lives, the lives of others, and wider society. All of us can practice leadership by choosing to explore our “ways of being and thinking about the world” and using what we learn about ourselves to work on our behavior as leaders, every day. At this World Thinking Day event, each registered troop will host a booth with a presentation about the country to share with other troops. Troops may also share food, SWAPS, songs, art, etc. from their chosen region, and should likely plan to use at least one/two meetings to prepare their materials. We realize that many first year Daisies, Juliettes, or other Girl Scouts may wish to attend this celebration without hosting a country booth. Girls are welcome to attend as a “tourist” at the same registration cost. (Max. number of tourists allowed will be 50.) Sign up to host a country here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080a4ca8ad2ea6f85-world Please purchase your admission once you have selected your country or to be a tourist: https://my.cheddarup.com/c/the-woods-service-unit-646 Leaders can also purchase a WTD patch. 40963104_wtd2020 This story was submitted using the Share Your Stories form.

Submitted by Serenity C. Metro Denver Aurora Hello, My name is Serenity C. and I am 15-years-old. My troop has a question for you…Is your troop or your Girl Scout interested in traveling and will be age 11 by July of 2021? Well, we have an opportunity of a lifetime awaiting for you if the answer to any of these questions is yes 😉 My mom is working with EF Tours to host an all-inclusive ten day trip to Costa Rica in July of 2021. What makes this program special? Delve into an ecological paradise, walk amid lush rainforests and beneath towering volcanoes in enchanting Costa Rica. Transport your troop deep into a misty cloud forest, get up close to the world’s most magnificent plant and animal habitats, and see sensational waterfalls and hot springs. From beginning to end, experience natural beauty and thrilling adventures beyond what you ever imagined. Registration is $95 per person. Multiple payment options are available and best of all is you can sell Girl Scout Cookies this year and next year to help earn money for the trip 😉 Use this link to see the full itinerary and all the amazing details of this adventure: https://girltrips.eftours.com/2218043ye This story was submitted using the Share Your Stories form.

Submitted by Sarah Benjamin Metro Denver Littleton This is the third cookie season that In-TEA Teahouse in downtown Littleton is doing tea flights with Girl Scout Cookies. It was my daughter’s idea. She brought this idea to the teahouse three cookie seasons ago and they loved it. She helped them pair which cookie goes to which tea best. They also donate a portion of their sales to our troop’s Hometown Heroes. These are pictures from the last two years. The flights will run from February 21 – 28, 2020. Go and enjoy!

Submitted by Heather Wilson Northern & Northeastern CO Greeley My husband is the best Girl Scout dad. He has taken our daughter to every meeting since she started three years ago because I work at night. He participates in booths, events, and is always there to encourage strength and confidence in Leah. She is kind, giving, and always including others. I’m super proud of them. Dads are an important part of the Girl Scouts of Colorado Cookie Team. That’s why we honor dads who help Girl Scouts all across Colorado meet their goals. Tell us about what makes your dad an awesome Cookie Dad and he could win a cool prize. #NorthernampNortheasternCO #Greeley #2020GirlScoutCookieProgram #bestcookiedad #cookies #BestCookieDadcontest2020 #GirlScoutCookies #GirlScoutCookieProgram #BestCookieDadcontest
