For over 90 years, Girl Scouts has been building strong girls, and today, over 3.2 million Girl Scouts in the US and internationally. Since 1912, over 50 million women have participated in the Girl Scouts program.
Here's who they are and what they do:
In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.
One of their cornerstone programs is the Girl Scout Cookie Program. In addition to raising funds for the Girl Scouts Program, selling cookies aims to teach participants 5 key skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Troops set their cookie goal to meet their desired activities for the year and all cookie sales benefit your local Girl Scouts Troop.
Plus, Girl Scout Cookies provide consumers with delicious cookies that are devoured annually!
On one particular Saturday this local Girl Scout was selling cookies in the community. When asked if her cookie costume was a requirement or came with the cookies, she said, "No, I just had it and thought it would boost sales!" You go, girl!
Support your local Girl Scouts - enjoy those cookies!
"Every cookie has a mission: to help girls do great things."
