For Troops to Virtually Meet
If you wish wo make this event a virtual troop meeting, we encourage adults to choose the best platform that works for your girls and families. Some video meeting platforms include Zoom, Skype, GoToMeeting, WebEx and Google Meet. Best practices for a video call include:
• Host a practice call before the event to sort out any tech issues. • Use the settings to require a meeting password for access, and share the password only with those you wish to attend
your virtual troop meeting. • Change screen sharing permission to “host only.” • Make sure settings disable the “Join Before Host” option to guarantee a trusted adult is on the call at all times. • Enable “Co-Host” to grant a co-leader or additional caregivers moderator permissions. • Disable “File Transfer” to prevent cyber virus sharing. • Disable “Allow Removed Participants to Rejoin”
Social Media
We invite and encourage you to share your Camp In Camp Cookie experiences on your favorite social media platforms. Use the hashtag #GSCampIn to connect with more GIrl Scouts and inspire others to build their cookie
skills too.
Be Prepared: Setting Up Your Site
The first thing to do is create your unique campsite for the night. Are you sleeping in a tent in the yard? A tent indoors? Or maybe you’ll create a magical blanket fort in your home. You can simply sleep in your usual spot if you’d like! Think of
ways to make your ‘campsite’ special. Many campers like to bring twinkle lights, fluffy blankets, photos of loved ones, or great books. Below, we will show just a couple ways to create an indoor campsite; however, we encourage you to build your space in whatever method and style inspires you, so be creative and unconventional as you wish. Make sure you have easy access to the kitchen for our activities! Make sure to share your campsites with us on Facebook!
Simple Design Idea: “The Lean-To”
You can get cozy feeling of a tent with minimal supplies. All you need for this quick and easy blanket fort is a sheet or blanket and a few thumb tacks. Pin one edge to the wall at any height that is comfortable for you. Use pins or heavy objects to hold down the other end of the sheet, creating a “lean-to” shape above your sleeping spot. You may decorate the space with pillows, fluffy blankets, a stuffed animal, glow sticks or twinkle lights.
Complex Design Idea: “The Fortress”
If you want to create a more elaborate blanket fort, here is just one way to do so. Again, think creatively and build your space however works best for you!
1. Outline the space. You can use chairs, a sofa and blanket to create boundaries. 2. Think about structure. What will hold up your fort? You might use an assortment of rigid objects, like hockey sticks
and hiking poles to build upon the foundation. 3. Cover the space. Thin sheets work well to construct a canopy above the sleeping area. You may also want to use a few
rubber bands and clips to hold the sheets to the rigid structure where needed. 4. Add your sleeping bag or blankets and pillow. 5. Make it homey! Consider adding twinkle lights, a plant, pinecones or glow sticks.
Get comfy and tune into the Facebook Group at 4 pm for the opening ceremony!

Pathways to sell cookies this year:
With the help of her parent/caregiver, a Girl Scout sets up Digital Cookie to sell online. Orders open December 11, in-person deliveries begin in January. No money-handling or guesswork required.
Based on comfort level, a girl can begin selling in person. Selling door to door, to family and friends, teammates, and beyond, asking her network of contacts is a great way to get started! Our Cookie Mix Calculator will help you know what Cookies to have on hand to meet the demand.
Have you ever seen a Girl Scout selling cookies at your favorite neighborhood restau- rant? That’s called a Cookie Booth Sale! Girls and their families can work with their Troop Cookie Manager to set up family booth sales as a new way to reach more customers. Girls should follow all state and local precautions including wearing a mask and gloves.
Girls can participate in Troop Booth Sales and Council Booth Sales with local partners like grocery stores and more. Council Booth Sale locations are secured by Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas and troops can sign up for slots in eBudde, our Cookie Program software. Proceeds from these booth sales benefit the troop and helps to fund Girl Scout adventures!

Make, Bake Plan & Promote
This activity will have your creative juices flowing as you make your own cookie, decorate and design it, name it, and draft a plan on how you would launch a business promoting your cookie. Take this knowledge and experience and consider how you might launch your very own business based on something you’re passionate about. Make & Bake: Follow the instructions starting on page 12 to make some delicious cookie dough, roll it out and bake it. Also follow along on our YouTube playlist.
Plan & Promote: If you were to design your very own cookies, what would you do? How food looks is often called presentation to food lovers. When considering how to decorate your cookies to sell to customers, presentation can be just as important as if the cookies taste amazing. Start by making a plan for what you will name your cookie and how you would decorate it. Then factor in how much it cost to make your cookie, consider how many cookies you would package together and how much you would sell them to customers for.
Name your cookie:
Plan how you’ll decorate/design your cookie:
Consider the cost to make your cookie: Cost of ingredients: $____________ Have an adult help you estimate the cost of the ingredients that you used. Include as many ingredients as you can - flour, sugar, butter, etc.
Cost of transportation: $____________ The cost of transportation often impacts the price of the things we buy. Consider how far an adult had to drive to and from the store to buy incredients and the cost of delivering cookies to your customers.
Cost of packaging: $____________ Consider what type of packaging you might use to put your cookies in to sell to customers. This might include some type of plastic sealing bag, boxes, ribbon, etc.
Total cost of your cookies: $____________
How many cookies did you make: #____________ Cost per cookie: $____________ Total cost divided by # of cookies made.
Now consider how many cookies should be included in each “package” you will sell to customers and how much each “package” will cost.
_______________ $____________ # of cookies in Price of each each package package
Design an ad to market your cookie to customers:

Cookie Activity
Access the video series in the Camp In, Camp Cookie Facebook event and YouTube.
Safety: Hair Up, sleeves up, jewelry off, Hands Washed, Apron Up
Before Baking: Read through the recipe and check that you have all ingredients. Pull all ingredients out and place on countertop. Take 1 cup of butter out and leave to soften on the countertop.
Equipment prep: take out all of the bakeware you need to complete this recipe. Place on the countertop and have it ready to go!
Bakeware Includes:
Cookie sheets
Rolling Pin
Cookie Cutter
Rubber Spatula
Oven mitts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups all purpose flower
nonstick spary or butter wrappers
If you have all the ingredients, great! You’re ready to continue with the recipe.
Step 1: Prep Ingredients.
1. Take out 1 cup of butter; it is usually 2 sticks of butter but may be different depending on the type of butter adults in your home purchase.
2. If you didn’t read through the steps of the recipe and your butter is still cold, you will need to soften it, but not melt it completely. Save the wrappers!
3. Remove the wrappers and place your butter in a large* microwavable safe dish. In increments of 10 – 15 seconds, soften your butter. DO NOT melt butter completely. You will have runny cookies! It should take 3 or 4 rounds in the microwave. If you do not have a large bowl, a small one is fine.
4. This is a good place to pause the video and soften the butter if needed. I’ll see you back here once the butter is softened. Remember, don’t melt it completely!
5. Place your softened butter in a large bowl. Measure out 1 cup of granulated white sugar. Add the sugar to the large bowl with the softened butter. Pause the video and complete this step in the recipe.
6. Take out your electric mixer and attach the whisks. Plug in and place whisks in bowl. Holding the mixer in one hand, and the steadying the bowl in the other, turn your mixer on and turn up to low/medium speed. Pause the video and cream together your butter and sugar for your own recipe. I’ll see you in a few minutes!
STEM PLUG: Creaming is an important process of mixing together your sugar and your fat (butter) which created air needed for leavening allowing for the cookies to be light and fluffy. While mixing, the jagged edges of the sugar crystals drags in air. While the cookies are baking, the leavening (baking powder) releases Carbon Dioxide which gravitates to the air spaces created by the creaming. This allows the cookies to rise and have the texture be light and tender.
14
Step 2: Let’s get baking!
1. Now we need to crack our egg. My suggestion is to crack it into a separate bowl just in case the shell breaks and ends up in the bowl. Break your egg on a flat surface, it will crack easier and minimize the chance of accidentally smashing the egg. Add your egg to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well incorporated with your electric mixer or by hand! See you soon!
2. Your wet ingredients should be well incorporated. You shouldn’t be able to see chunks of butter or sugar or egg. Take a look at your mixture. If you can see specific ingredients, you need to continue to mix them. Pause the video and asses your wet ingredients.
3. If you’re mixture looks well mixed, it’s time to measure the extracts and add them to your batter. Once added, mix well. Pause the video and complete this step.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F 5. Measure your dry ingredients: 3 cups flour, baking
powder, and salt. Pause the video, check your recipe, and measure out your dry ingredients. Don’t add them yet!
6. Alright, it’s time to add in the flour. You can add the flour in by hand, stand mixer, or electric mixer. Measure out 3 cups of flour. Add each cup slowly. If your mixer starts to struggle, tip out your batter onto a clean table surface and finish incorporating the flour by hand.
STEM PLUG: Baking Powder contains baking soda mixed with powered acid making it a ready-made leavening agent. When it is combined with water, bubbling starts and continues in the oven. Some powders mix two acids: one reacts quickly, and one provides gas later, giving a “double lift” (or higher rise) to your cake or cookies.
7. Once your dough is well incorporated, it is time to prep your cookie sheets. Either spray them with non- stick spray or use your butter wrappers! Pause the video and prep your cookie sheets!
8. In chunks, roll out dough. Dough should be thick- 1/4 inch.*
9. Dip your cookie cutter into flour so the dough doesn’t stick to it. Cut the cookies!
10. Using careful hands and spatulas, move cut cookies to prepared cookie sheets. It helps to dip your spatula into flour.
11. Combine scraps and roll out again! Repeat until all dough has been used.**
STEM PLUG: The texture of a cookie is affected by the
thickness. When the cookie dough is thinner, it will bake faster causing it to be crunchier. If the cookie dough is thicker, the baking will take a little longer, leaving time for you to cool it and have it be softer.
When slicing cough dough, firmly press straight down and lift straight back up. When lifting the cutter, use your finger or a chopstick to gently press on smaller or more detailed areas to help release the dough. If the cutter is sticking, dip the edges in confectioner’s sugar or flour before cutting. When cutting shapes, cut them close together to minimize dough scraps. Dough can only be re-rolled so many times before it is too tough and no longer good to use.
**You may need to re-flour surface or dough each time you roll out.
*** You will need to organize cookies on sheet to maximize space. Limited oven space and limited time.
12. Bake at 350°F for 6-8 minutes. 13. Let cool on cookie sheet until firm; transfer to cooling
rack.
STEM PLUG: When we take the cookies out of the oven, the cookie will continue to cook and water will still be evaporating. At the same time, the cookie will start to cool down. The thinner the cookie, the faster the cooling. Evaporation of the cookie creates certain moisture to the cookie. This Moisture effects what type of cookie we get (crunchy cookies require moisture to escape, chewy cookies can have some moisture.) The cooling down process is affected by where the cookie is placed.
Rack – If the cookie is placed on a rack, air can travel around the cookie, taking away the hear. This makes the cooking process faster. The air also takes away moisture that still may be evaporating from the cookie.
Tray – A metal tray will lose the heat from cooking pretty quickly. The cookie will not have full circulation around the cookie so the bottom will not be able to make the moisture evaporate. This may burn the bottom of your cookie.
Wood – Placing the cookies on a wooden tray doesn’t speed the cooling process. Sometimes the wood may absorb (take in) the moisture of the cookie which would make the bottom of the cookie soggy.
Glass – Glass doesn’t transfer hear so it tends to slow down the cooling process.

Goal Setting
Hi Girl Scout! Are you ready to dive into the 2021 Cookie Program? Let’s start by setting a SMART goal. What is a SMART goal you ask? Let’s take a closer look.
S M A R T
smart | What exactly do you want to accomplish? This could be a specific number of packages that you want to sell, a skill that you want to learn or a reward that you want to earn.
measurable | How will you know when you have met your goal? How can you track your progress? This could be a chart to show how many packages you have sold and how many you have to go.
attainable | Is it possible to meet this goal in the time you have to complete it? Consider what it will take to meet your goal. This could be a list of people to ask to purchase cookies, the number of booth sales you would participate in, etc.
relevant | Is this goal something that is important to you and that you are excited about? Think about why you are setting this goal and how it motivates you to be successful.
time-bound | What is the deadline you set to meet your goal? Make sure you create a plan to achieve your goal by the date you set.

SWAPS are Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere. These are small tokens of friendship to exchange with other Girl Scouts at camp or other events. Girls will often wear her SWAPS on a hat or display them in
some special way as a visual reminder that she is connected to a larger sisterhood. Try making one of these SWAPS ideas or come up with your own design!
