Cookies 2010
This year’s cookie season is “Inspired by U;” as Girl Scouts
across the country will be inspiring change. Your girls will be
able to discover what matters most, connect with the people of
your community, and use the power of Girl Scout Cookies to take
action in the world around them.
Each year when girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie
program, they are continuing and contributing to the ongoing
work of Girl Scouting. The Cookie program supports ALL the girls
in the council, and makes Girl Scouting available to any girl.
It also provides fun and exciting programs for the girls,
resources, camp, and support for adult learning. One hundred
percent of Girl Scout Cookie proceeds support Girl Scouts in our
local community, with girls at the forefront of how their troop
profits are to be spent.
Many of today’s successful businesswomen made their first ever
presentations by selling Girl Scout Cookies and attribute their
business know– how and success to their participation in the
Girl Scout Cookie Program.
Now that you’re inspired about the 2010 Cookie Season and all it
has in store…here’s what to do to ensure you are ready to
participate:
- Ensure all girls are registered members
