Cookies & Fall Product
One of Girl Scouting’s Four Pillars is Entrepreneurship. Research shows that girls are actively interested in becoming entrepreneurs, developing financially stable futures, and using their skills to make a big impact on the world. But there are stumbling blocks on a girl’s path. The Girl Scout Cookie Program and the Fall Product Program work to conquer those stumbling blocks by offering girls:
- A fun and exciting opportunity to support their local Girl Scout council in fundraising efforts. Every dollar earned through these fundraisers remains local to your Girl Scouts to fund her experience, which may include programming, events, troop and service unit proceeds, and rewards.
- Experiences that broaden their worlds and teach them essential skills such as overcoming a fear of failure and how to bring big ideas to life. While a future in entrepreneurship may not be right for every girl, every girl will benefit from learning to think like an entrepreneur, launching them into a lifetime of success.
