Cookie Booth Sales Predictor

Troop Leaders and Troop Cookie Liaison, when you go to place your initial order, do you know how many cookies and what variety you need for your booths? Do booths at Lowe’s do better or worse than Walmart? Do the people at Texas Roadhouse like Toffee Tastics? Do cookie costumes ACTUALLY boost sales?

Check out the State College Girl Scouts Cookie Predictor for answers to these questions and more.

We currently have sales data for 165 booths representing 569 hours of cookie sales and 21,004 boxes of cookies and use statistical analysis to determine what the expected outcome for a future booth is. Once booth season starts, be sure to stop back to provide your data!

Hope everyone is ready because 2020 is full of GIRL (Go-Getter, Innovator, Risk Taker, Leader) events. Let us know what amazing things your troop has planned.

Check out all the fun events being added to the calendar at Friends of Golden Pond. Along with Ice Fishing they have added First Aid Badge Workshops for Brownies and Juniors. Attend an activity and see how many things you can check off on your Winter Challenge.

Use your Photography skills and explore the Arboretum this winter and enter a picture in their Winter Photo Contest. While you’re at it work on the Outdoor Art badge for your level. If you are a Junior you can work on your Digital Photographer Badge and Ambassadors can work on their Photographer badge.

In the spirit of Getting Outdoors check out these two fliers to see about Winter Programs at Bald Eagle State Park and their Equipment Loaner Program: Cross-Country Skis & Snowshoes.
