The 2018 Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Cookie sale is underway and girls throughout our council will be selling these tasty treats though the end of March.

Why participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program?

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial opportunity. Millions of girls learn how to run a business each year by participating in the sale and are not only funding their amazing troop experiences, but also learning many valuable skills that will last a lifetime! Girls learn 5 Essential Skills that help them to succeed today and in the future:

Goal Setting: Girls set cookie sale goals individually and as a team. They create a plan on how they can achieve these goals, and learn to work together and continue to develop these skills along the way!

Decision Making: Girls help decide how they will spend their cookie money, furthering their critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.

Money Management: Girls take cookie orders, process payment transactions, and gain practical experience in financial literacy.

People Skills: Girls learn how to talk to, interact, and work with a wide range of people while selling cookies. These interactions help girls develop self-confidence and interactive skills they can use throughout their lives.

Business Ethics: Girls are honest and responsible at every step of the Cookie Program. Their business ethics here reinforce the positive values they are developing as Girl Scouts.

Welcome to the largest girl-led business

in the world: The Girl Scout Cookie Program!
