It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!

Macedonia – It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time!  For many of us, that means fulfilling a craving for yummy chocolate caramel coconut cookies, tasty cookies topped with creamy peanut butter and luscious chocolate, cool peppermint cookies covered in a smooth chocolaty coating, or the hearty cookie made with premium cranberries sweetened with creamy, white fudge chips – just to describe a few of your favorites!

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the country and generates immeasurable benefits for girls, their council and communities throughout northeast Ohio. Girls set cookie goals to support their chosen activities for the year, to fund community service projects, to attend summer camp, to travel to destinations near and far and to provide events for girls in their community. 

The Girl Scout Cookie Product Sale empowers girls with the strength, abilities, and drive they’ll need to become accomplished women who benefit themselves, their family, and the world.  Many successful business women today say they got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies!  Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program girls develop five essential skills:

• Goal setting
• Decision making
• Money management
• People skills
• Business ethics
