2022 Girl Scout Cookie Entrepreneurs

Introducing just a few of our Girl Scout Cookie entrepreneurs from the 2022 season. We asked these hustling Girl Scouts about their experiences last year with questions related to the five financial literacy skills that are the foundation of the Cookie Program: Goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Here is just a sample of their responses.

Ashly R.

Girl Scout Brownie, Troop 5439 • Packages sold: 3,308 Goal Setting – Tell me about your goal. Did you fall short, meet, or exceed that goal? My goal was 3,000 boxes so that I could earn the Nintendo Switch. While selling cookies on campus, pulling a wagon of cookies up Maple, I was very tired but when my parents asked me if I wanted to go home, I refused until I sold out my wagon of cookies because I was trying to make my goal. I was a little shy to ask the college boys to buy cookies, but my mom stood next to me while I quietly asked the ones outside and it turns out they bought SO many cookies! My mom was right, college boys love Girl Scout cookies.

Girl Scout Brownie, Troop 6788 • Packages sold: 3,247 Decision Making: What type of sales techniques did you use? Which one had the most success? I sold door-to-door, online, and booths. I had a lot of sales online from out of state, too. I sold the most at booths.

Makenley C.

Girl Scout Ambassador, Troop 2413 • Packages sold: 3,003 What is the thing you've learned from being part of the Cookie Program that has helped you most, not only in the cookie program but in your life? I’ve learned social skills because when a customer comes up to a booth you have to interact with them in order to make everything flow and to make a sale. This has helped me in life because it pushes me to step out of my comfort zone and interact more with people.

Emma H.

Girl Scout Junior, Troop 6683 • Packages sold: 3,000 Business Ethics: What do you think it takes to run a successful business? Planning, being prepared, being attentive, double checking all your money. Inventory after each booth or walk about.

Thank you for helping me achieve my personal goal of: packages, which will help us reach our troop goal of: packages so we can: *We are happy to deliver your donated
