Congratulations to Katelyn Wig- gins and Tess Jorris for being two of only 183 girls in Brea to sell between 150 and 300 boxes of cookies! Congratulations to Tay- lor Chau for being one of only 23 girls in Brea to sell between 300 and 350 boxes! Congratulations to Zoe Tschumper for being one of only 5 girls in Brea to sell between 450 and 500 boxes of cookies! Although our troop did not earn all bonuses, Brea did have 34 troops earn all bonuses! We were, unfortunately, ineligible for all bonuses because we are a new troop. If we do nut sales in the fall we will be eligible for all bonuses during cookie sales next year! Every girl in our troop has been awarded at least the minimum prize level, so everyone can ex- pect to get prizes and patches in the coming weeks! Prizes were ordered on Wednesday and the order was turned in to council on Thursday. I am told that we can expect to receive the prizes in one to two months. Until then, we’ll just excitedly wait! Congratulations, everyone, on a GREAT cookie sale! The Girl Scouts Council of Or- ange County set a city-wide goal for Brea to sell 4700 cases of Girl Scout Cookies this year. The numbers are in for all troops and Brea sold a total of 5409 cases this year! Last year, Brea sold 4476 cases. That’s almost 1000 cases more this year! Council believes, and I agree, that this is because we now have the cookies on had rather than having to take pre-orders! Our troop was one of 23 troop in Brea to sell over 1500 boxes. The average number of boxes sold per girl in Brea was 155 boxes. Our average was 168 boxes per girl! Great job, 2375ers! Next week we will be learning about our bodies. We will learn how to love ourselves and how to embrace our differences. We will also have a very special craft from Katelyn Wiggins next week. See you all very soon! This week in Girl Scouts we learned about Girl Scout tra- ditions and history. We started with making sit-upons. A sit-upon is a mat that girl scouts make to protect them- selves from the wet or dirty ground. We made ours out of tarp, yarn, and newspapers. The girls are welcome to bring these to meetings if they’d like to! We then moved on to making smores. For some girls, this was their first experience with smores! We all loved our ex- tra special treat. We also learned about the history of Girl Scout cookies. You’ll find a recipe for an early version of the Girl Scout cookie on page 3 of this week’s newsletter. We spent the last few minutes of our meeting making a flowery craft. What a great week!
