Product Sales

Girl Scouts and cookies share a rich history. While recipes and box designs have changed, selling cookies remains an important part of today's Girl Scout program.

How does the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Activity
benefit girls?

The activity of selling cookies is directly related to our purpose of helping all girls realize their full potential and become strong, confident and resourceful citizens. Through the Cookie Sale Activity, girls will have the opportunity to:

- Learn the importance of goal-setting and develop plans to achieve a goal.
- Understand how their efforts contribute to the overall good of their council and Girl Scouting.
- Put the ethical standards of the Girl Scout Promise and Law  into practice.
- Learn about entrepreneurship and basic business and financial planning.
- Develop high levels of self-esteem, self-reliance and personal achievement.
- Heighten their career awareness.
- Develop interpersonal and teamwork skills.

Learning Life Skills

Every local troop/group is encouraged to set realistic goals, such as planning field  trips and community service projects, to accomplish during the year. The money  earned from cookie activities helps the troop/group achieve its goals.

So when your local Girl Scouts come calling with this year's best-selling cookies, remember you're saying hello to tomorrow's business leaders.

Look for your local Girl Scout troop in your neighborhood beginning in January 2008!
