Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois celebrated outstanding volunteers and Girl Scouts who earned awards for their achievements at our second annual Recognition of Excellence ceremony. This year's Product Program Top Sellers were among the honorees in the spotlight.
When girls participate in Girl Scout Product Programs, they tap into the mindset and abilities needed to create a lifetime of success. Along with building confidence, they practice five skills for financial literacy which include goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.
Congratulations to these Girl Scouts who were the council's Top Sellers, demonstrating extraordinary determination, initative, and entrepreneurship.
