"Wow! Our girls knocked it out of the park with this year's Girl Scout Cookie Program! I'd like to extend a huge thanks to the girls, their families, and our wonderful volunteers for making this program a success,” said Katie Grayling, Director of Product Programs for GSofSI. “I can't wait to see how the girls use their proceeds to fuel their Girl Scout Leadership Experience; I have no doubt they'll take some amazing adventures and continue to make the world a better place for us all," Grayling added.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls gain five valuable life skills – goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics – that will benefit them throughout their lives. And, proceeds from these programs stay local to provide numerous opportunities for girls to explore their interests, become tomorrow’s leaders, and change the world.
Girl Scouts and cookies share a rich history. While recipes and box designs have changed over the years, selling cookies remains an important part of today’s Girl Scout program. The activity of selling cookies is directly related to Girl Scouts’ purpose of helping all girls reach their full potential and helping them become strong, confident, and resourceful citizens.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. Many successful businesswomen today say they got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies. During cookie activities, girls are members of a team working toward a common goal, with each girl striving to do her best.
