In an effort to make attending a STEP IT UP! KICK-OFF Cookie Rally convenient for girls we are once again having rallies in several locations.  Cookie rallies will be held on January 6th from 10:00 - 12:00 so that girls can have fun reinforcing the information that troop leaders have already shared with their girls.  Girls will discuss cookie selling safety and selling tips as well as have fun in a variety of Stepping it Up activities.  This will also be an opportunity to taste the new sugar free Little Brownie cookie!  We encourage troops to get involved in their local cookie rallies and to Step it Up by helping the people in charge.  Please note the locations and attend the rally closest to you.
