2017 Cookie Program Family Guide
There is something Worth Sharing inside each cookie….
Our Girl Scout Cookie Program is much more than a fundraiser. It’s a fun way for
girls of all ages to earn money that fuels their dreams and a powerful, hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial program. The countless exciting possibilities – from new
business opportunities to a healthier planet to a more beautiful world – begin with the
skills girls learn and the action they take today. Girls will learn firsthand the ins and
outs of running their own cookie business, even “branding” their enterprises for maximum impact.
Everything girls do in Girl Scouting is designed to help them become a leader in their
daily lives and prepare for their bright futures! The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps
girls develop 5 key skills:
GOAL SETTING: as she sets cookie sales goals and makes a plan to reach them
DECISION-MAKING: as she decides how her troop will spend the cookie money
MONEY MANAGEMENT: as she takes orders and handles customers’ money
PEOPLE SKILLS: as she takes to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies
BUSINESS ETHICS: as she is honest and responsible every step of the way
