Girls kick off Cookie Season with new online event

Jan. 11, 2013, 10:19 a.m.

Thousands of Girl Scouts from coast to coast are preparing to kick off the Girl Scout Cookie Season with the first-ever National Girl Scout Cookie Sleepover. Presented by Little Brownie Bakers, this one-hour online video show will be the focal point of parties, rallies, troop sleepovers and family gatherings. Many of the show’s segments will be in 3D.

The show is available at 8 p.m. in all time zones on Saturday, Jan. 12. Although it is prerecorded, the show will feature real-time interaction as girls participate via Facebook and Twitter (#GirlScoutCookie). The YouTube link can be easily accessed at www.littlebrownie.com

Highlights of the high-energy show include:

• Introduction of the new Girl Scout Cookie boxes – in 3D
• Interactive, 3D game and dance
• Inspiring stories of real Girl Scouts using cookie proceeds to make the world a better place
• Step-by-step guidance for goal-setting

With approval of Girl Scouts of the USA, Little Brownie Bakers created the show as part of its new Cookies Live! series that provides councils and volunteers with an easy way to help girls learn lifelong skills, reach high goals and have a lot of fun at the same time. The show is supported by a blog that provides volunteers with ideas, tips, crafts and recipes for before and after the online experience.

Little Brownie Bakers is one of two bakers licensed by Girl Scouts of the USA and has been baking Girl Scout Cookies since 1973. Little Brownie Bakers’ mission is to provide cookies and support services of the highest quality to Girl Scout councils to help teach girls a wide range of life skills and generate income for Girl Scout troops and councils via the annual Cookie Program. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
