It could help send a city girl to camp. It could cheer up a soldier far from home. It could buy school supplies for needy kids, or fly a troop of girls from Ashtabula or East Sparta or Sandusky to Washington, D.C. Some of these girls will end up back in Washington as congresswomen, senators or the first female President.
With every season of Girl Scout Cookies, another generation of girls learn to set goals, make a plan, and manage money . As women, they'll need to know these things for economic selfsufficiency, whether their goal is to start a business, or a family. As the largest Financial Literacy education program for girls in the country, the Girl Scout Cookie program, builds leaders one cookie and one girl at a time.
This Cookie Season, Girl Scouts across the country will be inspiring change. You will discover what matters most, connect with people in your community and use the power of Girl Scout Cookies to take action and make the world a better place.
