The service unit will earn a $0.01 per package incentive to be used for
programming if we increase our 2011 cookie sales by 10 % over last
year. Last year we sold 105,637 packages which means our 2012 goal
(with the 10% increase) is 116,200 packages. – an average
increase of 10 boxes per girl. This would result in $1,116.20 for us to
spend on the girls! We know our girls are awesome seller who can do
this by setting both troop and personal goals and working to achieve
them!
