It’s Cookie Season!

Girl Scout Cookie season is a beloved annual event when Girl Scouts and their troops rally their communities to support the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls. Last year alone, 12,676 Girl Scouts in Northeast Ohio participated in the program selling just over 2 million packages of cookies!

You might just think that the Girl Scout Cookie Program is only about selling delicious cookies, but it’s that and so much more! When a Girl Scout participates in the cookie program, they also learn valuable life skills.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps Girl Scouts learn five business skills that are essential to leadership, success, and life:
• Goal Setting — Girl Scouts learn how to set goals and create a plan to reach them.
• Decision Making —Girl Scouts learn to make decisions on their own and as a team.
• Money Management — Girl Scouts learn to create a budget and handle money.
• People Skills — Girl Scouts find their voice and build confidence through customer interactions.
• Business Ethics — Girl Scouts learn to act ethically, both in business and in life.

Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel, and summer camp for girls across the country. Because of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls can explore what interests them, discover their passions, and take
action on issues they care about. 100% of the proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program stays local!

Ready to help girls unbox their future?
Here’s how to get your hands on some Girl Scout Cookies:
1. In true Girl Scout style, a girl initiates the cookie program by inviting you to visit her personalized cookie website via email, social media, or in person. Don’t know a Girl Scout?
Check with your friends and colleagues to see who does, or you can visit a cookie booth from March 7-30.
2. When you get to her website you will be able to see her cookie program goals, place your order, and pay. Boom, just like that you’ve got delicious Girl Scout Cookies coming your way!

You’ll have the option to have your order shipped, delivered by a Girl Scout, or even donated. Many girls will offer contactless sales and delivery options to keep safety a priority this cold and flu season!
