“What Can a Girl Do?”

“What Can a Girl Do?” it the theme for this year's cookie sale which continues its tradition of helping girls to develop essential life skills while earning proceeds for troop and council activities.

This year, Girl Scouts cookie boxes will feature brand new designs for the first time since 1999. The new boxes will highlight the five skills that the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

February 8 is National Girl Scout Cookie Day which celebrates the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest girl-led business in the world.
