I Can’t Wait to…

...Learn How to Fly!
The Junior Aviation event at the Pacific Aviation Museum is February 14. Registration closes this Thursday, 1/29, so sign up today!


...Explore Waimea Valley With My Ohana!
Every 3rd Saturday of the month is La 'Ohana (Family Day) at Waimea Valley. This would be great to experience with your family or Girl Scout ohana! Leaders, if you would like to take your troop please submit a day trip application to your Service Unit Manager at least 2 weeks in advance.


...Share My STEM Story With the White House!
The White House Office of Science Technology Policy requested Girl Scouts send compelling stories of students that competed in STEM competitions this past year. These can include winners, finalists, or competitors with impressive projects and compelling personal stories. GSUSA will select the top 10 submissions to provide the White House to highlight girls and their projects at upcoming events. Please send your submissions (details below*) to the Girl Scouts of the USA Public Policy and Advocacy office at Advocacy@girlscouts.org by Friday, January 30th.

*Please submit a Word document containing the following:
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Project Name
  • City/State
  • DOB
  • Picture of student(s) and project
  • Short compelling paragraph on the student(s), their backstory, and the goal of their project

...Participate in a Cross-Continental Sleepover!
Girl Scouts in Connecticut are having a library sleepover on January 31 and YOU'RE invited! Brownies who would like to Skype with their Connecticut Girl Scout Sisters should contact Lauren at lamaturo@crec.orgJuniors and Cadettes who would like to Skype into the sleepover, please contact Estela: Estela.Karsmarski@ynhh.org


...Exchange SWAPS with my Girl Scout Sisters!
Daisy Troop 448 from Callicoon, New York has 7 girls looking for a Hawai'i troop to trade SWAPS with. Search Pinterest for ideas and contact Antonia at fridayscall@hotmail.com for information on where to send your creations!

...Celebrate World Thinking Day!
If you are planning on participating in World Thinking Day this year, make sure you 
reserve a patch for this fun event!

...Help With Cookie Pick-Up!
February 26th, 8am-5pm is our cookie delivery day, and it is a huge production! We wouldn't be able to do it without the help of volunteers, so if you would like to come (even for just a few hours), or know someone who might, please email Elizabeth at elstone@girlscouts-hawaii.org by 2/13 for details. Help us make this cookie season the best one yet!

...Select a Cookie Booth Site!
Booth Site Selection is now unlimited, so make sure you sign up for as many as your troop needs. Please note, that if you sign up for a booth site and don't show up, it is a bad reflection on the entire organization. Businesses will not be willing to continue to support Girl Scouts if we do not follow through with our word. So please, if you are not able to make it to your site, simply deselect it in eBudde.
