Girls
Learn the “5 Skills”
Our cookies are on a mission: to help girls learn five skills that are essential to leadership, to success, and to life.
Skill #1—Goal Setting: Sets cookie goals individually and, with her
team, creates a plan to reach them. She develops cooperation and
team building skills along the way.
"I know I can do
it!"
“We're all about trying new things and having fun. Selling
cookies is about both. My friends and I work together to set our team
goal for the season; maybe we'll donate to our local animal hospital
or go on an adventure. Sure, selling the cookies is great. But what we
do with the money we earn is even greater.”
Skill #2—Decision Making: Helps decide how her team spends their
cookie money, furthering critical thinking and problem solving
skills.
"I make smarter decisions."
“When I sell cookies with my Girl Scout forever friends, we make our own decisions, like how many boxes we want to sell. We all have to agree on what we'll do with the money, which means talking it out and being okay not getting our way sometimes. And we have to figure out how to solve problems, like what to do when one of the girls is sick and can't help out. Our decisions matter.”
Skill #3—Money Management: Takes cookie order, handles customers'
money and gains valuable and practical life skills around financial
literacy.
"I make change happen!"
“It's cool that I get to make change when someone buys cookies. I'm really careful about it. I count it out twice, so I know it's totally right. And I know each box sold gets us one step closer to our goal.”
Skill #4—People Skills: Learns how to talk to, listen to and work
with all kinds of people while selling cookies. These experiences
help her develop healthy relationships nd conflict resolution skills
that she can use throughout her life.
"I get a
lifetime supply of confidence in every box."
“I've met so many new people at our cookie booth. And I've gotten really good at chatting with them about how we are doing more than just selling Girl Scout Cookies. We’re earning money to achieve our cookie-season goals and do great things.”
Skill #5—Business Ethics: Be honest and responsible at every step
of the cookie sale. Her business ethics reinforce the positive
values she is developing as a Girl Scout.
"Selling
cookies is more than just business."
“The other day at the cookie booth I made my friend's mom laugh really hard and she totally forgot her change. I made sure she got it back. She was so impressed she bought another box of cookies. Now I'm even closer to reaching my goal for robotics camp.”
