| * The annual cookie sale is part of the Girl Scouts Entrepreneur and Financial Literacy Program. | |
| * Girls learn business skills including budgeting, financial responsibility, banking practices, creating a business plan, tracking sales progress, marketing, and partnering with other girls and adults to plan for using their proceeds to enhance their opportunities and experiences through Girl Scouting. | |
| * Girls learn life skills including project planning and implementation, goal-setting, teamwork, public speaking, self-confidence, community awareness, and partnering with business and organizations to serve others. | |
| * Today's Girl Scouts know what they want. They take action to meet challenges, connect with others and achieve goals. The cookie program embraces that "can-do" attitude as girls set goals, make decisions, learn about themselves and exceed even their own expectations. | |
| * Girl Scouts are "smart cookies." The cookie program activities provide opportunities for girls to be active and help girls make choices to adopt a physically active lifestyle. Healthy weight and nutrition decisions as well as personal safety in the community and online are all parts of the cookie program. | |
