I have a troop leader who contacted me 2 months ago about hosting a cooking show for her girls. I'm trying to do a little more research on it because it is in 2 NIGHTS!! My show is on Thursday with her and it is for 30 GIRLS! They all need to get their hands in it so what I"m going to do is divide the girls into 2 teams of 15. I'm going to have one team make the Banana Split Brownie Pizza and the other team do the Taffy Apple Pizza. I am going to go to the troop leaders house with the brownie and sugar cookie dough baked. I'm going to start off with one girl using the scissors to cut open the brownie bag. Then next girl pour the brownie mix into the CBB. Keep doing each step going down the line with each girl. Of course I will have brownie mix extra that I will bake there but what do you guys think with that idea? I also tried getting my grocery store to donate the ingredients but they said it would take a few weeks to go through corporate.

I also need to prepare my catalogs for this and send each girl home with one or two. I'm also going to insert a page on the guest special and how to calculate direct shipping costs.

I would love to hear everyone's feedback!!! Please!:D
 
Girl Scout ShowI really think you have done a good job on getting this show together.
This would be a good idea for me to do also.
On getting ingredients donated go to some local businesses and see if they couldn't donate cash to buy your ingredients. Most businesses support scouts.
Don,t forget giving each girl a recipe.:)

Where you give directions for the website - I would say Option 1 (already invited to a show). Other than that I think it looks great. May you have much success with this.

I don't know if you have the space/want to add but you might in the "booking area" including information on the host special (roasting pan) or carving set in november and the bamboo cheese board or knives in december to "whet their appetite".
