Introducing … a rundown of Sleepover highlights
Posted on December 6, 2012 by Little Brownie Bakers
There are plenty of fun surprises waiting for girls during the National Girl Scout Cookie Sleepover on Jan. 12, but we don’t want to leave volunteers in the “dark.”
Here’s a rundown of the show’s highlights to help you stay one step ahead:
( The show begins at 8 p.m., no matter what time zone you are in. It lasts approximately one hour.)
| Approximate time into the show | Highlight | Volunteer alerts |

| 9:00 | Honoring our military | |
| 9:10 | What can a girl do? These girls changed the law. | |
| 12:40 | All about goal setting | |
| 14:10 | Activity: Cookie break for goal setting | Girls will use the break to work independently. Each girl needs copies of the two Sleepover Goal Guide sheets labeled “I care about…” and “I want to try…” Or you can use plain paper. |

| 39:50 | Introducing the new cookie boxes! In 3D! | 3-D glasses can be used. |
| 42:20 | Cookie IQ Game in 3D | 3-D glasses can be used. This is an active game, and girls will need room enough to march and wave their arms. |
| 45:10 | Sock puppets role play how to sell | |
| 46:18 | Cookie Rap | |
| 46:40 | What can a girl do? These girls beat the weather with a drive-through cookie booth. | |
| 49:45 | Top selling tips | |
| 51:05 | Finale: “Samoas Shout” song and dance in 3-D | 3-D glasses can be used. Girls need room to dance. |

Don’t forget to register for the sleepover by clicking here!
This is a WONDERFUL idea. And thank you for planning it all out for us. I am going to shoot the moms an email now and see who wants to come. I may even suggest it as an unit event. I am very excited. Thank You!
This will be great fun and our Brownie Troop will learn valuable goal setting skills
I can’t seem to find the “time” the live internet stream will happen. Does anyone know what time it will run?
It’s 8:00 pm local time. We will post on the Little Brownie Volunteer Blog, the link to the Sleepover event early enough on January 12 to accommodate any troops who need to meet in the afternoon or early evening instead of the official 8 pm viewing time.
I know this is the first annual, so I am hoping I can figure it out for our service unit “pajama party” from 2-5pm. The girls are so excited. Off to look at the volunteer blog more. Thanks sooo much!
Thank you so much for the earlier access time! We’re unable to do a full sleepover, and opted for a pj party instead, and this will allow us to start a little earlier and let the girls go home in time for their regular bedtimes.
We are so excited!!! We are looking forward to the Sleepover!!!
I am so excited in the sleepover but also a little worried. We are staying at a church hall and I don’t know if we will be able to get internet service. Is there a DVD available to use on that date.
Great to have you participating in the sleepover! Each council was sent one DVD, directed to the product sales manager. Please contact the product sales manager within your council to inquire as to the availability of your council’s DVD.
Looks like fun; we are in!
I think we will end at 9 pm and start early enough to do some of the activites ahead of time.
I wish the video was earlier!
I also would prefer this could be earlier. I am excited about this event though and can’t wait to have my girls participate!!
I have asked my council office about the DVD and they didn’t know anything about it. Can I still get a DVD . I would love to have it for my troop and to share with other troops.
We shipped the DVD to the product sales manager for each council. Please be sure to inquire with the product sales manager. We will post a link to the event early on January 12.
So, I keep clicking on the link to register that my troop will be participating. It keeps bringing me to some other survey program asking me for all kind of information, I do not want to share. We have approximately 9 4th grade juniors participating from Columbia Falls, MT.
Sorry for the confusion. We have manually registered your troop. Please visit the Little Brownie site on January 12 to access the sleepover video link. We look forward to having you!
Just read above that a DVD was sent, we did not receive one, assume that’s because we aer overseas. Noting that you start at 8pm, that would be logistically difficult for us to start at 2am in Germany. Do you have any suggestions on how we coudl particiapate? Many thanks, Susan Schott, Co-OCC Munich Central
We are pleased to hear that you will be joining the fun. As we want everyone to be able to participate, the video will be posted in time to view by 8 pm in ALL time zones, including Germany! The actual posting time will be 12:01 am EST on January 12, 2013. Please check the Little Brownie home page at that time and you’ll be able to access a link to the show. The link will remain on the site after January 12 as well. Enjoy!
Hi we have 2 service units working together for our Mother/Daughter- Bring a Friend Pajama Party on Saturday night, so far we are at 210 girls and 140 adults! We are all very excited. I think this is a great idea and wonderful new tradition! Thanks Little Brownie for all of the ideas!
Wow, that’s terrific! Great to have you. Enjoy the show!
So this event is NOT LIVE as previously advertised. it’s basically just playing on a loop all day on January 12th……….? And the information telling the girls to have cells for texting, iPads, etc….. what are they for if the event is just a recorded program?
The sleepover will appear to be live, much like television shows such as “Dancing with the Stars.” However, to meet the needs of councils in different time zones with different time preferences, the event is pre-recorded. During the evening of Jan 12, girls will be able to interact live using Twitter and Facebook. After Jan. 12, the recording will continue to be available online.
Hello
How do we give a shout out during the national sleepover? Can we do it from home or do we need to be in a central council location? Thanks. Beth

i have also been trying to register and keep getting sent to survey monkey how can we really register, i have contacted my own council and have not heard back also, we don’t have 3D glasses does that mean we won’t be able to participate in the quiz, or it will just be blurry
We’ll manually register you. You’ll still be able to participate and enjoy the event without the 3D glasses. Enjoy the show!
Will the link to the program be watchable through YouTube, so that I may share with the troop from my TV (via Apple TV)?
Yes, it will be viewable through YouTube.
Hi! I am unable to locate anyone at our council who has received the DVD. It seems that no one other than myself has any information about it. I was hoping to use it Friday night because most of our troop was unavailable on Saturday. Is there a possibility that we could have it sent overnight? I would cover the shipping charge. Thank you kindly!
Sorry we aren’t able to supply the DVD. All councils were shipped the DVD to the attention of the product sales manager. Please contact the product sales manager at your council for the availability of the DVD.
Hi,
We’re trying to set up and use You Tube rather than streaming from a computer. What is the YouTube Information we can use to access the video and will it be ready before 8pm Jan 12th? I have the prerecorded version on my computer right now but can not get it to stream glitch free on to the TV. The 3 minute intro video on youtube works perfect, how do we get the full 1 hour show from YouTube?
Thanks
The link will be posted on the LittleBrownieBakers.com website home page in the very early morning hours. Please try it tomorrow morning and you should be able to view the show just fine as it’s pulled into the site from YouTube.
