Purchase your favorite Girl Scout Cookies by visiting FindCookies.org. Girl Scout Cookie booths can be found at local supermarkets beginning Feb. 28.
Empowering youth
The Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, strives to build courage, confidence and character in girls all over the world.
Purchasing a box of cookies is not just about savoring a nostalgic sweet treat – it also supports a program that funds girls’ adventures, builds entrepreneurial skills, enhances their leadership experiences and empowers the next generation of leaders.
“Each box of cookies you purchase helps build a brighter future for our Girl Scouts,” said Vivian TerMaat, CEO of GSMISTS. “Through this program, girls gain the courage and confidence to embark on new adventures, acquire valuable skills, and make a positive impact in the world.
“From learning to run a business and manage finances to giving back to their communities, the skills they develop today are shaping the leaders of tomorrow.”
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls fund exciting adventures and meaningful programs while also teaching five essential life skills. Through goal setting, money management, decision-making, people skills and business ethics, girls gain the tools they need to thrive as confident future leaders within their communities.
