The nuts and candy are delicious and designed specifically for the Girl Scouts, and

supporting Girl Scouts.
One of the most important elements of the program is the opportunity for girls to set

Cookie Program, the Fall Product Program teaches important life skills including goal
setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.
