Cookies
Our cookies are on a mission: to help girls learn five skills that are essential to leadership, to success, and to life.
Skill #1—Goal Setting
Skill #2—Decision Making
Skill #3—Money Management
Skill #4—People Skills
Skill #5—Business Ethics
When girls have mastered the business ethics skill, they’ll be saying:
“Selling cookies is more than just business.”
“The other day at the cookie booth I made my friend’s mom laugh really hard and she totally forgot her change. I made sure she got it back. She was so impressed she bought another box of cookies. Now I’m even closer to reaching my goal for robotics camp.”
Girls act honestly and responsibly during every step of the cookie sale. This matters because employers want to hire ethical employees—and the world needs ethical leaders in every field.
Go-getter troops are preparing for cookie season now by role playing sticky situations that might come up throughout the cookie program. Families sign and submit a cookie program permission slip, that outlines the families commitments and responsibilities for accurately managing inventory and finances.
Pro tip: Experienced cookie business leaders should share advice and expertise with younger Girl Scout troops by collaborating for booth sales or helping a troop earn their Cookie Activity Pin.
Because your Girl Scout is honest and responsible at every step of the cookie sale…
What do you hope your Girl Scout is honest with you about?
Cookies
Our cookies are on a mission: to help girls learn five skills that are essential to leadership, to success, and to life.
Skill #1—Goal Setting
Skill #2—Decision Making
Skill #3—Money Management
Skill #4—People Skills
Skill #5—Business Ethics
When girls have mastered people skills, they’ll be saying:
“I get a lifetime supply of confidence in every box.”
“I’ve met so many new people at our cookie booth. And I’ve gotten really good at chatting with them about how we are doing more than just selling Girl Scout Cookies. We’re earning money to achieve our cookie-season goals and do great things.”
Girls learn how to talk (and listen!) to their customers, as well as learning how to work as a team with other girls. This matters because it helps them do better in school (on group projects, on sports teams, and on the playground) and, later, at work.
Go-getter troops are preparing for cookie season now by role playing a variety of cookie selling scenarios. Girls should practice being both the seller and the customer. Spend some time brainstorming the types of questions customers might ask, and be prepared with the correct answers. Practice manners like “please” and “thank you.” Know how to articulate individual and troop goals to describe how each customer’s purchase will support Girl Scouts. Don’t forget to prepare for unhappy customers and awkward conversations, too.
Pro tip: Experienced cookie business leaders should practice the no-pressure up-sell. It’s a fine line between offering just one more box (or rounding it up to a full case!) and coming across as a pushy salesperson. Practice confidently and politely making the ask.
Because your Girl Scout learns how to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies…
How do you want your Girl Scout to influence others?
Cookies
Our cookies are on a mission: to help girls learn five skills that are essential to leadership, to success, and to life.
Skill #1—Goal Setting
Skill #2—Decision Making
Skill #3—Money Management
Skill #4—People Skills
Skill #5—Business Ethics
When girls have mastered the money management skill, they’ll be saying:
“I make change happen!”
“It’s cool that I get to make change when someone buys cookies. I’m really careful about it. I count it out twice, so I know it’s totally right. And I know each box sold gets us one step closer to our goal.”
Girls develop a budget, take cookie orders, and handle customers’ money. This matters because girls need to know how to handle money—from their lunch money to their allowance to (someday) their paycheck.
Go-getter troops are preparing for cookie season now by practicing identifying bills and coins, counting out correct change, and knowing the amount due for various quantities of cookies purchased. Girls should know who a check should be written to, and how customers can pay with a credit card.
Pro tip: Experienced cookie business leaders should design a creative thank you card/receipt to be given to every cookie customer, as a record of their purchase and sign of appreciation.
Because your Girl Scout takes cookie orders and handles customers’ money…
What’s the most important thing you’d like your Girl Scout to learn about earning and managing money?
Cookies
Our cookies are on a mission: to help girls learn five skills that are essential to leadership, to success, and to life.
Skill #1—Goal Setting
Skill #2—Decision Making
Skill #3—Money Management
Skill #4—People Skills
Skill #5—Business Ethics
When girls have mastered the decision making skill, they’ll be saying:
“I make smarter decisions.”
“When I sell cookies with my Girl Scout forever friends, we make our own decisions, like how many boxes we want to sell. We all have to agree on what we’ll do with the money, which means talking it out and being okay not getting our way sometimes. And we have to figure out how to solve problems, like what to do when one of the girls is sick and can’t help out. Our decisions matter.”
Girls decide where and when to sell cookies, how to market their sale, and what to do with their earnings. This matters because girls must make many decisions, big and small, in their lives. Learning this skill helps them make good ones.
Go-getter troops are preparing for cookie season now by making decisions about when, where, and how they’ll market and sell their products. Will she do door-to-door sales (“walkabouts”) and sell to family and friends? Will she utilize the Digital Cookie platform to reach her goals even faster? And will she set up cookie booths to explode her sales and exceed her goals?
Pro tip: Experienced cookie business leaders should start reaching out to cookie customers now to let them know that cookies are coming, the different ways and times she’ll be selling them, and get an idea of how many they’d like to buy.
Because your Girl Scout helps decide how her team will spend their cookie money…
What important decisions do you want your Girl Scout to be prepared to make, now and in the future?
Service Community
Aren’t we always saying we wish we had more time? Well with daylight savings, today we do. It may just be one hour—but Girl Scouts know how to get creative to make that hour count.
See? Service comes in doses large and small—even an hour can make a not-so-small difference.
Can you think of other fun and rewarding ways to put your extra hour to good use? What are you waiting for? Leap into leadership, grab your family and friends, and head out to change the world, one modest-yet-powerful act at a time. Girl Scouts is cheering you on!

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Multi line blockquote with a cite reference:
People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.
