Product Sales Program

In Girl Scouts, girls learn practical, real-world skills. The Girl Scout Product Sale Programs are designed to teach girls fi nancial literacy and what it takes to be successful in business and fi nancially independent! Girl Scouts participate in the council’s Fall Product and Cookie Programs and may use the proceeds they earn to fund service projects, badge activities, fi eld trips, and other activities!

As girls take charge of their sales, they learn these 5 Skills:

1 2 3 4 5

Goal Setting Watch as the girls get creative with their business plans to fund their next adventure!

Decision Making Be awestruck as the girls learn to problem solve and develop their critical thinking skills!

Money Management See the girls build fi nancial literacy as they take on the responsibility of directly handling customer money!

People Skills Be amazed as the girls engage with diverse members of the community and develop their speaking and listening skills and learn how to work with different kinds of people! Business Ethics Be proud to know you have played a part in helping girls develop positive business ethics and values while they learn to be responsible for their individual and troop cookie sales.

Fall Product Program

The Girl Scout Fall Product Sale Program is the perfect opportunity for your troop to earn quick startup money by selling nuts, candies, and magazines to families and friends. Girls earn recognitions for their sales and troops earn money early in the program year to help offset expenses and minimize the need for dues!

Girl Scout Cookie Program

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is about way more than selling cookies! When Girl Scouts participate in the Cookie Program, they are helping to run the largest girl-led business in the world! By selling Girl Scout cookies, girls not only help their customers stock up on delicious treats, they learn valuable life skills (and have lots of fun)!

Operation Cookie Drop

Operation Cookie Drop is a council-wide service project! For over 16 years, troops and girls have collected donations from Girl Scout Cookie Program customers to be used to purchase and send Girl Scout cookies to our troops serving overseas and at bases located in North Carolina! Operation Cookie Drop donations count toward troop proceeds, girl recognitions, and the purchase of cookies for the members of our military. Want to be inspired?
