Build Skills and Confidence!

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. Through it, girls learn five essential skills:

Goal Setting

Decision Making

Money Management

People Skills

Business Ethics

Being able to set and reach goals will help girls succeed in school, on the job and in life.

Deciding how to market and sell through the Girl Scout Cookie Program will help empower girls and build confidence.

Girls develop a budget and handle customers’ money.

Learning this skill will help them manage their own money when they grow older.

As girls talk and listen to their customers they learn to perform better with group projects, teams and later at work.

Behaving honestly and responsibly through every step of the Cookie Program will help girls grow into conscientious and positive leaders in the future.

Girl-led, Adult-supervised Girl Scouts sell cookies with support from adults.

(The adults should not sell for the girl.) The Girl Scout should be… ✓ Setting a goal for her sales ✓ Making decisions about how she will be selling cookies as allowed within the program ✓ Actively involved in setting up her Digital Cookie site ✓ Making signs and posters

Girl Scout Cookie Business is a Family Affair!

The Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pin is a great way to support your Girl Scout in this program.

✓ Making the ask to all her customers and answering their questions ✓ Accepting payments and making change ✓ Filling orders ✓ Writing thank you notes
