Cookie Sales
Girl Scouts have been selling cookies for years as a way to raise money for troop activities. The tradition has become so popular that many people anxiously await Girl Scout cookie time.
The program's popularity doesn't end with consumers. Girls love selling Girl Scout cookies as well.
Benefits for Girls
For many girls, the Girl Scout cookie program is their first entrepreneurial venture and helps foster a sense of achievement that resonates far into the future. Girl Scout cookies are only sold for a few short weeks, but the benefits for girls last throughout their entire lives!
Many of today’s successful businesswomen credit their professional accomplishments to their early start in the Girl Scout Cookie Sale program. Because of this experience, they learned how to be members of a team, work toward a common goal, interact with customers in a professional manner, follow through on a commitment, and strive to do their best.
Selling cookies helps girls develop a wide range of skills, including:
· Leadership
· Money management
· Decision making
· Customer service
· Planning
· Goal setting
· Teamwork
· Public speaking
Cookie Impact
A portion of the money raised goes directly to local troops selling cookies, which allows troops to finance program goals and activities such as field trips, camp outings, and community service projects. The remainder is used to make Girl Scouting available to every girl in the area who would like to participate. Proceeds also help Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan recruit and train volunteers, maintain campgrounds, and support initiatives such as outreach, science activities, career workshops, and financial assistance
