You’re invited to the National Girl Scout Cookie Sleepover
Posted on December 6, 2012 by Little Brownie Bakers
Save the date! Jan. 12, 2013
Are you ready to party Girl Scout-style? Pull out those fuzzy slippers and sleeping bags and join Girl Scouts from across the country for a brand new kind of cookie fun and learning for the first ever National Girl Scout Cookie Sleepover!
Meet inspiring girls with amazing goals. Get great ideas for pumping up sales. Be the first to see the new cookie boxes and enjoy lots of fun and exciting interactive games.
Best of all, you can stream all the action live to wherever girls are — the living room, backyard, school gym or anywhere with an Internet connection.
Mark your calendar. And watch this blog for great sleepover ideas, games and crafts.
No one does pajama parties like Girl Scouts!
Don’t forget to register for the sleepover by clicking here!
We’re so excited to take part in the sleepover! Great for the girls and volunteers, it will be a great start to our cookie sale!
We’re definitely going to make the 3-D glasses! Our girls love 3-D movies.
Does anybody know if this event will be available to view on-line after 1/12 for those who can’t do it on the actual night?
The link will be available to access the event throughout January.
OMG! our girls are so excieted to participate.. do u know if the movie will still show 3D from a projector?
Great to have you! Yes, but keep in mind that viewing through a larger screen may not be as clear.
I was wondering where this sleepover will take place.
I’d like to have a sleepover just for Cadettes/Seniors/Ambassadors. Any ideas on how to do this for them?
Can’t wait to kick off cookies in this way the girls are going to absolutely flip out with excitement! Which will help sell more cookies!!!
we are strat to plan are sleep over any ideas?
Hi! We are excited to join in the fun. Does anyone know what time the live event will be taking place?
It looks like a great idea but I
Have a few questions. Will we need a projector so all the girls can see? I am planning a cookie rally for our service unit and expect 80 or more girls. Should a break the girls into small groups and let each group spend 15 minutes watching the website? Also what time will the daytime sleepover be? Will we miss the website component of the sleepover if we have it in the afternoon?
Your event sounds like a lot of fun! The online event is scheduled for Jan. 12 at 8 p.m. everywhere in the country. At that time, Little Brownie Bakers will post the video on our website, and it will remain available through the 2013 Cookie Season. However, if you are having a sleepover event before then, you can still participate. In early December, Little Brownie will provide councils with a DVD of the show for distribution to those who may want to use a DVD rather than the Internet. Please contact your council for information about the DVD version. A projector is a great idea, since you will probably want all the girls to watch the one-hour program at the same time. Small group activities are best for before and after watching the program.
I’m not very up to date when it comes to the new 3D technology. Will we need some type of special TV to be able to preview the 3D portion. I’d hate to make the glasses and it not work out for the girls
One highlight of the online event will be an experience with cookies– in 3D! Girls can purchase 3D glasses at a local craft store, councils can purchase low cost paper 3D glasses online, in bulk, for girls to decorate, or girls can make their own 3D glasses at the event, using the instructions available at http://www.littlebrownie.com. However, 3D glasses are not necessary to enjoy the event and it can easily be viewed without them.
Is this going to be 8pm local time? Or am I in the Central Time Zone going to be able to view it at 7pm because it’s really 8pm in the Eastern Time Zone?
The event is at 8 p.m. local time, no matter what part of the country you are in. That is the time it will go live online.
I’ve got the date Jan 12, 2013, what time will the fun start? Is it one specific time or will it be something on the website we can access anytime that day?
Our council gave us a flyer with very basic information. The flyers says the girls will need phones, tablets or laptops if they want to interact with the show using Facebook and Twitter. I’m assuming this is for the girls to post their comments? Does the DVD have the same content as the online event on January 12th?
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.
I just like the valuable info you provide to your articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and check once more right here regularly. I’m fairly sure I will be told plenty of new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
Planning a Town- Wide Sleepover on January 12. and inviting nearby Girl Scout to join us. Great ideas posted and planning to use a lot of them. This may wake the girls up on how to sell….sell…..sell.
Our council would like to air this movie at our cookie Rally, however our rally is scheduled for 1/4/2013, Can we get the dvd any earlier
Hi Tina, each council was already sent one DVD to the attention of the product sales manager. Please contact the product sales manager within your council to inquire about availability of your council’s DVD.
Do i need to register my event? I went to the link posted and it was survey.
Yes, please register. That link is to the registration form (just 6 questions). Looking forward to having you!
Howdy! I was just wondering,after I read all the replies, exactly WHERE this sleepover will take place? I bet THIS sleepover will be WAY different then the ones I normally have at my BFF’s house it’s normally just me and her.
But I bet LOTS of Girl Scouts will be going and if I DO go, I don’t know if I’ll see ANYONE I know over there. I will bookmark this on my nook hd and wait for a reply. Hope one comes soon!!! Bye for now,Sydney.
It will be a great time! The sleepover will take place online and a link will be posted on LittleBrownieBakers.com early on January 12.
Is there a way to download the video of the Sleepover Dance? I don’t know that I’ll have internet at my facility and want to be able to show the video to teach the girls before the broadcast.
No there isn’t a way to download – sorry. It’s easy to learn and with the lyrics you’ll be in step in no time! Looking forward to having you at the event!
When will the video be available to do equipment checks and such?
Thanks.
The link to the event will be posted in the very early morning hours of Saturday, January 12.
