Why Girl Scouts Should Participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program!

By -

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is under way. And, guess what? It’s not too late to participate!

Your Girl Scout still has time to learn important life skills, gain a ton of confidence, and find out what she is capable of. And there is more! Selling cookies also means big fun and a chance to change the world! You can help her!

  • The Girl Scout Cookie Programs funds the “fun” of Girl Scouting! A portion of the proceeds from each box goes back to her troop so the troop can plan activities, badge work, trips, and celebrations throughout the year. Plus your Girl Scout can earn Cookie Credits that can be used to go to Girl Scout Camp, buy Girl Scout merchandise, or offset her Girl Scout membership fees!
 
  •  Digital Cookie means your Girl Scout can start participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program at any time and learn about e-commerce while she participates. To get started, help your Girl Scout set up her very own online store via our Digital Cookie platform. Let her personality shine by recording a video pitch and setting a goal. Next, determine who you want to share her link with. It could be family, friends, maybe even your co-workers… anyone throughout the country. Then, watch the orders come in!
     
     

     
  • Your Girl Scout will learn skills that will last her a lifetime including goal-setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.


  • Girl Scout Cookies can teach your Girl Scout about giving back to her community! GSNC’s Gift of Caring program encourages girls to collect cookie donations to support essential workers and servicemen and women. 

  • Girl Scout Cookies are a family affair. A girl and her parents can work together to help her experience all that this time-honored program has to offer. Together, your family can earn the Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pin. 

Don’t let her miss out on all that the Girl Scouts Cookie Program has to offer!

With some many Girl Scout spending their summer outdoors and at camp, now is the perfect time to talk about sit-upons... a great item to bring on any outdoor adventure . So, when we were challenged to make a sit-upon, we decided to do what Girl Scouts do and use our resources wisely... so, we used some items that we had on hand.

Using the duct tape, tape the seams of the bag that are open so that the newspaper is sealed into the b

Working at a Girl Scout Camp by Maggie Robinson

Of all the different first jobs a young person could have, summer camp counselor is simply the best. Other regular jobs won’t leave a young person with as well-rounded a skill set as summer camp and in my (incredibly-biased) opinion, being a Girl Scout summer camp counselor is even better for introducing young minds to the workforce. Growing up I had two dreams: become a world famous best-selling author and be a Unit Leader at Camp Blue Bay. Thanks to my experience working at summer camp, I’ve already been able to achieve one of my lifelong goals! (And as soon as I finish my novel, I’ll complete the other one…)  It all started 15 years ago. I was 8 years old and enjoying the sleepaway experience at Camp Blue Bay for the very first time, but my camp counselors were an enigma to me. They were teenagers and college kids who were also adults, and they were cool but also responsible?? I had never met a person like that before. They were friendly and helpful when I misplaced my water bottle
