Troop Cookie Managers, Sign up for Training!
The 2012 Cookie Program is just around the corner! You don't want to miss the first cookie sale of the next Girl Scout centennial so sign up for training today!
Classroom training is designed for new troop cookie managers who have never had training, but we offer an on-line training option which is now available.
TIP: Register early to get into the training on the date, time and location most convenient to you.
How to Register: Registration is required for any troop cookie manager training. On-line registration can be completed on our e-biz site under Adult Trainings and Events. If you have not already done so, you must activate your account and you will need to create a profile. Once activated, choose "Product Sales Trainings" and then choose "Troop Cookie Manager Training." Select the desired date, time and location and complete the registration information.
If you cannot attend the chosen session, contact the Council office at 713-292-0239 to cancel. You can leave a message 24 hours a day. By canceling in advance, you allow others to register for the training.
No walk-ins please! Non-registered participants place a burden on other participants, the trainers and the training location. Trainers may be unable to provide materials for non-registered participants. Remember, this training is for grown-ups only; childcare facilities are not available at training locations.
Requirements to be a Troop Cookie Manager: All troop cookie managers are required to be a currently registered adult member of Girl Scouts and complete a Volunteer Application and Criminal Background Authorization and Release (GSSJC F-39). If you have not yet completed this form, you can download the form from www.gssjc.org and bring the completed form with you to the training. Troop cookie managers must also have access to a computer.

Resident Camp 2012
Few things are as memorable for a girl as going away to camp for the summer. She’ll remember sleeping under the stars, making s’mores around the fire and singing silly camp songs in the warm breeze with her new friends for years to come.
Without a doubt, camp leaves a positive, lasting impression on those who are fortunate enough to experience it.
Girl Scout camp offers girls an opportunity to enjoy being girls in a safe, social setting and participatory environment without the distractions of modern day life.
Girls can connect with others without cell phones or Facebook. They can play sports outside instead of on TV. And instead of learning life’s sometimes harsh lessons, they can learn how to prevent them and cope - away from boys and the social pressures of school.
San Jacinto Council has a resident camp program at three sites- Camps Agnes Arnold and Misty Meadows in Conroe and Camp Casa Mare in Seabrook.
Here, every girl can make new friends, explore the world around her and discover her potential. In addition, camp helps youth reduce stress, learn new skills and engage in a more active lifestyle through hikes, exercise, swimming and play.
Make it a Girl Scout summer! You won’t regret that you did!
Limited financial assistance is available in the form of camperships. Or, if you would like to help send a girl to camp, contact Sally Swanson at sswanson@sjgs.org or 713-292-0279.
