Last summer. 25 per cent of our Brownie Girl Scouts, 80 per cent of our Intermediate Scouts, and 80 per cent of our Senior Scouts had a camping experience. The money from cookies provided this opportunity for our girls. "Our goal this year is 30,000 boxes to be sold in the towns where we have Girl Scouts. These; towns are: Raton, Springer, Cimarron, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Espanola, Los Alamos, Taos, and Chama.

"We are not asking you for money. We are not asking your club or service group to buy ies as a group. We do hope each of you as an individual, will buy cookies and support the sale by encouraging your friends to do so. "We wish to also take this op-! portunity to thank you for all the support you have given to our Girl Scout Program in the past. We Can Count On Our Girls!
