Participating in the program gives Girl Scouts an entrepreneurial edge! Encouraging an interest in entrepreneurship builds curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving skills—qualities that prepare them for academic and career success. As your Girl Scout runs their own cookie business, they’ll gain five skills along the way that they’ll use the rest of their lives.
Find out more about why the Girl Scout Cookie Program matters here.
The cookie program gives your Girl Scout the ability to power unique opportunities and adventures for their troop while learning to think like an entrepreneur.
