Girl Scout cookies taste great, but there is more to them than meets the eye. Selling cookies teaches girls life skills—and the money raised helps Girl Scout troops pay for activities, such as this Brownie Scout painting project, which was part of the requirements for the Painter badge.
Have you been wishing for those one-of-a-kind cookies that you can only purchase at a certain time of the year? Have you been thinking of Thin Mints? Craving Caramel Delights? Longing for Lemonades? Well, you are in luck because Cook County Girl Scouts have cookies and they are selling!
Cook County Girl Scouts now offer direct sales, which means you don’t have to order your cookies and wait weeks to get them. The cookies are here in Cook County, so most of the time when you buy, you receive your cookies immediately if they are in stock.
So find your favorite Girl Scout and buy cookies for yourself, your relatives, and your friends. Cookies are a great way to say “Thank you” or “I’m thinking of you!”
And whether you enjoy them all yourselves or whether you share, buying cookies from a Girl Scout is more than just handing over money for a treat. For the girls, selling cookies teaches goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics. All things essential to leadership, to success and to life.
For nearly 100 years, Girl Scouts have been selling cookies, earning money to help support their troops’ activities and to contribute to their communities. And Cook County Girl Scouts are happy to carry on the tradition.
So, look for your favorite Scout to buy some Peanut Butter Patties, Thanks-ALots or, new this year, Mango Cremes.
