Helpful info for parents 
The Cookie Sale Program simply could not happen without the help and commitment from girls’ families! Every hour a girl spends at a cookie booth or delivering cookies, an adult is
by her side giving his or her time and effort “toward the cause,” and for that, we are truly grateful!
How Does a Girl Benefit from Participating in
the Cookie Sale Program?
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is one of the leading entrepreneurial training programs for girls in the world. Girls learn a myriad of life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. In fact, many accomplished women were Girl Scouts and attribute their success to the life lessons they learned as a Girl Scout.
• The importance of having goals
• How to set and meet goals
• How to meet deadlines and manage their time
• How to provide excellent customer service
• Teamwork
• Money management
|
• Budgeting
• How to communicate effectively
• Integrity
• Responsibility
• How to be confident |
 Additionally, girls receive patches and may also receive other incentives and recognitions based on the number of boxes sold. In addition to all the incentives shown on the girl’s order-takers, all girls who sell 1,000 boxes or more will be entered into a drawing to win one of the following 3 items: Jumbo Sized Dash the Cookie Dog (on display now in the Council Shop)and 2 Apple I-pods.
Cookie Dough Info
Girls who sell 100 boxes or more can earn Cookie Dough. The total amount of Cookie Dough earned is based on the total number of boxes sold by the end of the sale.
Girl Scout Cookie activities offer a wonderful opportunity for family adults to help girls learn about goal setting, project planning, communication and teamwork. These are skills that will last a lifetime and it all starts right here. And while girls are learning these very important things, both parents / guardians and their daughters are also having fun and enjoying one another's company!
