Here are this year's yummy varieties:
Girl Scouts and those Great Cookies!
Girl Scouts are known for those delicious crisp Thin Mints,
decadent Carmel deLights, Peanut Butter Patties and their five other delicious
cookie varieties offered each year.
But these great cookies do much more than entice the palate. They enable
Girl Scouts to learn life skills such as goal setting, money management, and
teamwork -- while allowing customers to purchase a great product and support
girls in their own community.
Girl Scouts, from all age levels, plan their yearly
adventures based on what they expect to earn from troop dues, money earning
activities and the annual Cookie Sale Program.
Once girls, with the help of their leaders, decide what they
want to do, they begin to set goal and estimate costs as they explore their
options. Girls walk away from the Cookie Sale Program with some of the best
memories of their Girl Scout years, and even better -- they take with them the
beginnings of business skills and an understanding of what true teamwork can
build.
The Girl Scout Cookie Product Sale Activity
is a timeless tradition that provides girls the opportunity to learn a variety
of important and empowering life skills, while providing our community with
a nationally recognized, annual treat… the Girl Scout Cookie!
Girl Scout Cookie History:
In the programs earliest years, Girl Scout troops
baked their own cookies and sold them to support their individual troop activities.
By 1934, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. (GSUSA) introduced the first nationally franchised
cookie sale.
Each of the 300 Girl Scout councils throughout the United States selects one
of the three bakeries licensed by GSUSA to bake and distribute official Girl
Scout Cookies. Each council determines its own procedures, selling dates and
prices for their annual Cookie Product Sale Activity.
Where does the money go?
The proceeds from the cookie product sale stay within the Northwest
Florida council and the Girl Scouts we serve, helping to provide ongoing funding
for program activities. Each $3.50 box of Girl Scout Cookies represents the
following benefits to the girls within our area.
The troops/groups utilize a portion of their earnings to support troop activities
including camping trips, special events, community service projects, badges,
and various supplies for their weekly meetings.
Proceeds also support council-sponsored programs, new program development, maintaining
outdoor program facilities, and the training of adult volunteers.
Are girls/troops required to sell Girl Scout Cookies?
The Girl Scout Cookie Product Sale Activity is a voluntary
program. This sale activity is our most well-known and anticipated program of
the year, and Girl Scouts are eager to take part in this annual event, however
no Girl Scout or Girl Scout troop is required to sell Girl Scout Cookies.
What do Girl Scouts learn by participating in this
activity?
The true value of the Girl Scout Cookie Product Sale Activity
does not come in dollars and cents, but in the valuable skills it offers the
girls. The experience they gain by participating helps develop self-esteem,
and empowers them to be responsible adults who are resourceful, productive and
strong. The core lessons include:
Teamwork
Planning and goal setting
Decision-making skills; how to prioritize
Financial management; the budgetary process
Effective, positive communication skills
