Every Girl Scout Cookie Has a Mission: To Help Girls Do Great Things.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the world, at $700 million dollars in annual sales. Every year, millions of girls get to learn how to run a business by actually running a business.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program generates immeasurable benefits for girls. It helps girls set goals to support their chosen activities for the year, to fund community service and leadership projects, to attend summer camp, to travel to destinations near and far and to provide events for girls in their community. The Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches these girls practical life skills that will help them grow into leaders in their own lives, leaders in business and leaders in the world.
