Investing in girls through the Girl Scouts will support
financial literacy and entrepreneurship programs that empower girls through the
development of five essential skills: goal setting, money management, people
skills, decision-making and business ethics.
Did you know? Eighty-five percent of girls developed money
management skills through the Girl Scout Cookie program, the largest girl-run
business in the world.
Planning pays off
Troop 50099 |
Troop
50099 created a two-year business plan for selling Girl Scout Cookies at a workshop hosted by
The Hill Group, and increased their sales to “Super Troop” status in
that year's Cookie Program.
This summer, the girls got to enjoy the result of their hard work. Just as they planned, the troop saved Cookie Program proceeds for two years to fund a five-day trek in the Great Smoky Mountains!
