Supporting our girls...
It’s that time again, Girl Scout Cookie Season!!! Throughout
the country Girl Scouts of all ages are utilizing the 5 Essential Skills: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills, and Business Ethics; building their “brand” through the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Program.
Here at GSSNE we’ve recently established the G.I.R.L. Media Team, and soon you will be seeing and hearing from some
of these girls as they talk about their awesome cookie businesses on TV and radio! I’m sure you’ll be proud when
you hear them on air—they’re exceptional!
At a recent G.I.R.L. Media Team meeting, the girls discussed what they love about managing their own business, and while I’ve heard many amazing stories from Girl Scouts over the years about why they love selling cookies, one girl’s story in particular moved me…
When asked about why she loves running her cookie business, Riley said that sometimes people direct their attention to adults when a kid is in the room, and they tend to talk over their heads, but during the cookie sale, adults pay direct attention to her and her peers. Riley feels respected as a #cookieboss and appreciates the empowerment that she feels from the cookie sale!
I LOVE that the Girl Scout Cookie Program provides girls with
a space where they feel respected for the business they run, and that the amazing customers who purchase from them treat our Girl Scouts with the respect they deserve!
Thanks to every girl who chooses to launch her first business with the Girl Scouts; to every parent and volunteer who supports her in this business enterprise; and to every customer who purchases cookies that fund the dreams of these young entrepreneurs!
Warmly,
Your CEO - Pam
