Submitted by Nicki Meldrum Metro Denver Erie Addy, a second year Daisy, was a bit shy at booth sales this year. She was content to sit under the cookie table, rather than meet her customers. We offered her a cookie costume, and her shy exterior melted away. She was now THE Thin Mint! She danced and jumped and sang, and showed her off her cool cookie moves, ready to meet her customers and tell them all about her troops goals, and how cookies would help them get there!

Submitted by Amanda Hanson Western Colorado Montrose In our family, we bleed blue and red. Many of our family members are either volunteer firefighters or police officers. Our girls have received lots of support from dispatchers, officers, and firefighters. Our girls have a goal of selling 1,000 packages of cookies each. Our girls have loved the support from those who are risking their lives to make the world a better place. These girls have made goodie bags for our local state troopers, visited with our firefighters, and been out in the public volunteering for elderly. Our Daisies also had hot cocoa with cops this year as part of their “Respecting Authority” petal! Invite uniformed personnel, such as law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, etc., to visit you at your cookie booth as part of Uniform to Uniform!

Submitted by Laura Chaney Northern & Northeastern CO Longmont Girl Scout Troop 710 partnered with Button Rock Bakery in Lafayette to form the perfect combo. The bakery invested almost $1,000 in our Girl Scout Cookies. Button Rock Bakery is owned by Jamie Lachel and she has surrounded herself with a talented staff of all women employees. The ladies at the Button Rock Bakery have taken the challenge to use Girl Scout Cookies to create some incredibly unique and tasty treats. How can you possibly make a Thin Mint better??? Our whole troop can’t wait to come back to the bakery at 1377 Forest Park Circle Suite 102 in Lafayette and taste all the new creations. Button Rock Bakery was thrilled to be able to purchase our gluten-free Toffee-Tastic to use in their gluten-free baked goods. The girls in Girl Scout Troop 710 will use the proceeds from the cookies sold this season to fund a troop camping trip to Meadow Mountain Ranch, an exciting overnight at the Cave of the Winds (camping INSIDE the actual cave), and countless badges and field trip opportunities. The cookie program truly provides so many opportunities to the girls and it is the customers supporting the girls during who are the true heart of the cookie program. So, thank you to Button Rock Bakery and to every single person who has bought a package of Girl Scout Cookies this season. Every package is an adventure, new experience, new skill, and an opportunity to help make the world a better place. This story was submitted using the Share Your Stories form.

Submitted by Erin Wogaman Pikes Peak Colorado Springs Our troop of 33 Girl Scouts (Daisy-Senior) divided into teams and completed the requirements on the scavenger hunt, researched Susan Helms, and watched Marion Downs’ film. The girls had so much fun learning about these strong leaders and it gave them hope about their own futures. My troop knows that they can overcome obstacles and push themselves to be the best they can be. We really enjoyed this fun patch and do recommend that younger girls partner with older girls. The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame is excited to partner with Girl Scouts of Colorado to provide girls across the state an opportunity to learn the stories of women who have shaped our state and the nation’s history with courage, leadership, intelligence, and creativity. Girl Scouts are future female leaders of Colorado and the Hall of Fame recognizes and preserves the accomplishments of past and present Colorado women. – M.L. Hanson, Founder of the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame Thanks to Erin for sharing her story earning this special patch with Girl Scouts of Colorado! #ColoradoWomensHallofFame #ColoradoSprings #CWHF #ColoradoWomenInspirechallenge #PikesPeak #patch

The goal of International Women’s Day 2019 is to bring focus to the inequality of women throughout the world and how it impacts the progress of girls. 2017 Gold Award Girl Scout Kayleigh Cornell, sophomore at CU Boulder and intern for the Global Action Committee, created this video about what equality means to women and girls across the United States. #GlobalGirlScouts #GlobalActionCommittee #GoldAwardGirlScout #InternationalWomensDay2019 #InternationalWomensDay #GlobalActionDays

Submitted by Heidi Kane Metro Denver Federal Heights Local firefighters visited Troop 62816 at our King Soopers cookie booth in Federal Heights. While we sold cookies, there was a woman who showed up at the booth. The florescent stripes on her outfit hinted at the fact that she was a firefighter. As she slowed down while walking past the booth, we asked if she would take a picture with us. She agreed. Then, another firefighter showed up and bought a package of Samoas. After they left, everyone at the booth agreed that it was so empowering to be able to take a picture with a strong and heroic woman! Invite uniformed personnel, such as law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, etc., to visit you at your cookie booth as part of Uniform to Uniform!
