YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS GAIN SKILLS THROUGH GIRL SCOUT COOKIE
SALE
The next time you see a Girl Scout selling cookies, take notice. That pint-sized
salesperson may be a future CEO, CFO or small business owner! Consider for a
moment that 67% of women in Congress were Girl Scouts; 72% of Girl Scouts say
that the Girl Scout Promise and Law helps them make good moral decisions; 32%
more Girl Scouts than non-Girl Scouts will refuse alcohol at a party; and 64% of
women in Who’s Who of American Women were Girl Scouts! Girls throughout
our community are dreaming about their future while gaining courage, confidence,
and character. They will be tomorrow’s leaders. You can invest in their futures
by purchasing Girl Scout cookies. Sound investment. Solid returns. All for $3.25 -
- the price of a box of Girl Scout cookies.
How does the cookie sale help girls reach their dreams? Girls learn the
importance of responsibility, the value of goal setting, the spirit of teamwork
and the thrill of accomplishment. They learn about customer service and
marketing. They build confidence by developing interpersonal communication
skills. When delivering cookies, they learn the importance of fulfilling
commitments and learn money management. The Girl Scout cookie sale develops
financial literacy and is one of the nation’s premier entrepreneurial programs.
In addition, the cookie program revenue helps supply essential services to
troops and individual girls. Proceeds remain here to fund program resources,
communication, volunteer training, property maintenance, outreach to
under-served populations and more. A portion goes directly to girls to fund
troop activities, including community service.
Many thanks to all those who make the cookie sale a success!
