how about something "its good for you"
or maybe a fun fruit pizza.

An Ice Cream Sandwich party would be fun too!
Offer to help them earn their cooking badge - I know Girl Scouts lets us do that.

But what do you do at a fundraiser? a demo? do you give everyone catalogues and order forms ahead of time? raffle tickets?

interested in thisI'm very interested in this as well. I'm doing my first fund raiser in Sept and the Reciepe for success doesn't really say much to answer my questions. How do you process the show? We're planning on the cooking show being the kick off to a month long catalog show where all of the guests go collect orders as well. Any suggestions as to how to process this?

Completely lost here and need some guidance

Wanted to revisit the thread.
THANKS!!!

TheI am a Girl Scout Leader and I did a fundraiser w/ another troopbecause they wanted to donate items to a womens shelter. We did a pizza and the parents went nuts over the everyday items that I used.
But considering the fundraiser is in Oct why not do a Halloween/All Saints eve theme.
You can use the v cut for pumpkins decorating, the creative citters for the outlines, or because it is Halloween you can do a pie and use the silicone mat, the roller and evryday items like the cups, prep bowls, spoons, etc.
For my last idea, I know that Girl Scouts was founded by lord Baden-Powell and his sister and Juliet Gordon Lowe got the idea from him, but it is her birthday. Juliet was born on Oct 31st. You can do a birthday celebration, a tea party.
I hope these ideas helps.
