 Introduction
Our Girl Scout Cookie Program is a girl program. Just as other Girl Scout programs are designed to teach girls specific life skills. The cookie program teaches girls skills including salesmanship, how to work as a team, organization, responsibility, money handling and the economics of supply and demand.
As a result of this program, girls, troops, Service Units, and the Council raise vital funds necessary for the council to maintain properties and provide quality programs for the girls. The 2008 Girl Scout Cookie Sale will begin January 1, 2008 when girls begin taking orders. Cookies will available for pick-up or delivery to Girl Scout Troops between February 16-21, 2008. Direct sales (booth sales) will run from February 17-March 17, 2008.
The cookie sale is built into the Girl Scout program to help girls grow strong in several important areas:
• Girls learn to set goals, both personal and for the group, and to plan strategy to achieve those goals.
• Girls develop management skills by planning strategy and motivating each other to achieve their objectives.
• Girls learn interpersonal skills necessary to communicate to a variety of potential customers about purchasing customers.
• Girls grow in self-confidence and pride by successfully accomplishing goals that financially benefit the troop and the
Council.
• Girls have FUN! In pairs and within their troops, girls enjoy the fellowship with each others and opportunities to interact with friends and neighbors in the community.
 Troops use funds earned through cookie sales to go on trips, fund troop meeting activities, attend events and buy their patches and badges. Also, the Girl Scout Cookie Sale is essential to the success of Girl Scouts of Western North Carolina Pisgah Council. Click on the links listed below for more details.
