The activity of selling
cookies is directly related to our purpose of helping all girls
realize their full potential and become strong, confident, and
resourceful citizens.
- Girl Scouts practice life skills like
goal setting, money management, and teamwork—and they have
fun!
- Customers get a great product and get
to support girls in their own community.
- All of the proceeds support Girl
Scouting in the local community.

Many successful business women today say
they got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies. Girls
practice useful life skills like planning, decision-making,
and customer service. During cookie activities, girls are
members of a team working towards a common goal, with each
girl striving to do her best.
Every Girl Scout troop/group is encouraged to set realistic
goals, such as planning field trips and community service
projects, to accomplish during the year. The money earned
from cookie activities helps the troop/group achieve its
goals.
So when your local Girl Scouts come
calling with this year's best-selling cookies, remember
you're saying hello to tomorrow's business leaders. |

All of the proceeds—every penny—from a
local Girl Scout council's cookie activities remains in the
area where the cookies are sold. This revenue is used to
benefit girls, some of it directly by remaining in the Girl
Scout troop/group treasury and some of it indirectly by
subsidizing the cost of providing the Girl Scout program in
the local area. "Cookie revenue"
helps Girl Scout councils:
- Recruit and train volunteer leaders
for each Girl Scout troop/group.
- Provide the financial assistance
needed to make Girl Scouting available for all girls.
- Improve and maintain camp and other
activity sites.
- Keep event/camp fees for all
members to a minimum.
- Sponsor special events and
projects.
