Celebrating the 5 Skills with girls!
All girls who participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program are eligible to earn the annual

each of the 5 Skills. Here’s how girls achieve the 5 Skills through the Girl Scout Cookie Program:

The pin is a different color Set personal sales goals for yourself based on your personal and group goals.
every year. Keep a record of your accomplishments each year!
2. Decision Making
Develop a basic business plan for your cookie sale.
Work as a team with other Girl Scouts to decide when and where you’ll sell cookies
and what you’ll do with the money you earn.
3. Money Management
Develop a budget for accomplishing at least one of the goals you set in the Goal
Setting step. Use this budget to help determine your sales goals.
Be able to explain how the money earned in the Girl Scout Cookie Program helps
you, your group, and your council.
4. People Skills
Practice your “elevator speech” for customers about what you are selling, why you
are selling it, and why they should purchase it.
Make a list of customers you will approach. Don’t forget people you sold to last year!
5. Business Ethics
Discuss how living the Girl Scout Promise and Law applies to what you do in the
Girl Scout Cookie Program as a businesswoman.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program: 5 Skills for Girls 21
For 100 years, the Girl Scout Cookie Progam has taught girls five essential life skills: goal
setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—
aspects essential to leadership, to success, and to life.
Girl Scout Cookies started in the kitchens and ovens of our girl members, with moms
volunteering as technical advisers, as a way to finance troop activities. Today, the
program still helps fund all of the fun girls have with Girl Scouts, like field trips, troop
supplies and community service, as well as your local council, Girl Scouts Heart of the
South. Funds from the cookie program provide volunteer training, council programs
and events, camp maintanance, and even new member recruitment.
One thing that has changed since 1917 is the girl’s ability to sell Girl Scout Cookies
online! Girls are able to sell cookies online through Digital Cookies 2.0, developed
by GSUSA and Little Brownie Bakers, and powered by Dell and Visa Checkout. This
safe and secure site will allow girls to connect with family and friends to ask for their
support by purchasing cookies. Customers have the ability to purchase cookies online
to be shipped (customer pays for shipping and handling) or delivered by the girl (with
your permission).
The price of Girl Scout Cookies are still $4 per box , with two speciality cookies, the Girl
Scout S’mores and the gluten free, Toffee-tastics at $5.
The 2018 Girl Scout Cookie Program officially starts on January 6, 2018.
The Girl Scout Cookie Progam was always one of my favorite times when I led my
daughters’ troops, and I hope you enjoy participating with your daughter as well. Thank
you for supporting your girl and her troop. This program would not be possible without
parent and volunteer involvement.

Why participate
IN TH E GIRL SCOUT COOKIE PROGRAM?
What are your hopes for your Girl Scout? Certainly, you want her to
make good decisions, know how to manage money. And how to set and
reach goals, like attending college. The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps
her succeed today and prepares her for future success. There’s a good
reason it’s a beloved family tradition.
1. Goal Setting: Girls set cookie sales goals individually and with
their team, create a plan to reach them, and develop cooperation and
team-building skills all along the way!
2. Decision Making: Girls help decide how the team will
spend their cookie money, furthering their critical-thinking and prob-
lem-solving skills.
3. Money Management: Girls take cookie orders, handle
customers’ money and gain practical life skills in financial literacy.
4. People Skills: Girls learn how to talk to, listen to and work
with all kinds of people while selling cookies. These experiences help
them develop healthy relationship and conflict-resolution skills
they can use throughout their lives.
5. Business Ethics: Girls are honest and responsible at every
step of the cookie sale. Their business ethics here reinforce the positive
values they are developing as a Girl Scout.

Who can resist delicious Girl Scout Cookies when a Girl Scout is
at their front door with their favorite cookies?!
Door-to-door sales remains one of the most effective ways to sell
cookies. In a recent national study, 78% of those customers who
were not approached during a cookie sale stated they would have
purchased 2-4 boxes if asked.
Red Wagon Saturday was designed to reach those customers and
help girls achieve their cookies goals, all while getting outdoors
and meeting neighbors.

Gift of Caring allows girls an opportunity to show their appreciation to their hometown
heroes and to support those in need. Girls or their troops may choose an organization
they want to benefit and then give customers the opportunity to purchase cookies as a
donation.
For various reasons, some customers do not want to buy cookies for themselves. With
Gift of Caring, they have the chance to give to others while supporting Girl Scouts at the
same time.
Troop to Troops
The Troop to Troops (T2T) program provides a perfect opportunity
to send cookies to our military men and women who are protecting
our freedom. Cookies are sent to our brothers, sisters, mothers,
fathers, sons and daughters who are putting their lives on hold to
protect the freedoms dear to us all. This is a great way to grow your
cookie sales and support our military troops!
