children in need. Learning We helped implement
the Unit Cookie Rally, which helped us and the
younger girls review valuable cookie selling
techniques and safety tips.

budget, set appropriate sale goals for the troop
and individuals. We worked on perseverance by
continuing the cookie sale after the initial
order. We continued to take order and track our
progress. We scheduled additional sale
opportunities.
