Feature Article: Cookie Season is Here!
|
It's More Than Just a Sale
Being right in the middle of the Cookie Program with eBudde, Order Cards, banking, and all the other logistical parts, we can quickly
 move away from our main mission - to teach girls the skills they need to become women of courage, confidence, and character.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls develop five key business and leadership skills that last a lifetime:
1.
Goal Setting-as she sets cookie sales goals individually and with her team, creates a plan to reach them, and develops Cooperation and Team Building skills all along the way.
2.
Decision Making-as she helps decide how her team will spend their cookie money, furthering her Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills that will help her throughout life.
3.
Money Management-as she takes cookie orders, handles customer's money and gains valuable and Practical Life Skills around financial literacy.
4.
People Skills-as she learns how to talk to, listen to and work with all kinds of people while selling cookies. These experiences help her develop Healthy Relationship and Conflict Resolution skills she can use throughout her life.
5.
Business Ethics-as she is honest and responsible at every step of the cookie sale. Her business ethics here reinforce the Positive Values she is developing as a Girl Scout.
