For more than 90 years, the Girl Scout Cookie Program has helped girls foster a sense of personal and collective empowerment by promoting skills they will use throughout their entire lives. 

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the country and for many; it is their first entrepreneurial venture! Through participating in the cookie program, girls develop five essential skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Girl Scout cookies are only sold for six short weeks, but the benefits for girls last throughout their entire lives!

Many of today’s successful businesswomen credit their professional accomplishments to their early start in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Because of this experience, they learned how to be members of a team, work toward a common goal, interact with customers in a professional manner, follow through on a commitment, and strive to do their best.
