Why Participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Program?
What are your hopes for your Girl Scout? Certainly, you want her to make good
decisions. Know how to manage money. And how to set and reach goals, like
attending college. The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps her succeed today and
prepares her for future success. There's a good reason it's a beloved family
tradition.

Why Participate? Here's Five reasons:

Goal Setting: Your Girl Scout 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!

Decision Making: Your Girl Scout helps decide how her team will spend their
cookie money, furthering her critical thinking and problem solving skills that will help her in many aspects of her life.

Money Management: Your Girl Scout takes cookie orders, handles customers'
money and gains valuable and practical life skills around financial literacy.

People Skills: Your Girl Scout 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.

Business Ethics: Your Girl Scout 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.

Phoenix Service Unit came together to enjoy a camporee at Camp Nocatee with the theme of Mystery of the Missing Scout. Approximately 175 Girl Scouts, leaders, and parents gathered for a weekend of mystery, detective, and spy activities included fiber analysis, footprint analysis, fingerprinting, secret codes, and the usage of invisible ink. Their missing "Scout" turned out to be the Ranger's dog named Scout.
