Girl Scout Cookies are going on Sale Soon!

ATHENS, Ga. – On January 4th the iconic cookies you love to eat are being pre-sold by Girl Scouts of Northeast Georgia. These cookies will be sold door to door until the end of February and then will be available for purchase at booth sales around the area until they are gone.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program, an integral part of Girl Scouting’s Business and Economic Literacy initiative for girls ages 6–17, provides finance, marketing, and public speaking skills, along with valuable experiences that build girls’ self-confidence and help them develop their own personal leadership style.

Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls manage inventory, set goals, learn money management, and develop marketing skills. Essentially, the girls run their own business. The entire troop sets a goal and follows a plan leading toward that goal. Girl Scout troops use funds from the cookie activity to fund a service project or to plan for an exciting trip. Many successful women have credited their business skills to the Girl Scout Cookie Program, making it the premier business and economic literacy program for girls in the United States.

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has a membership of more than 3.8 million girls and adults. Now in its 95th year, GSUSA continues to help cultivate values, social conscience, and self-esteem in young girls, while also teaching them life skills that will enable them to succeed as adults. In Girl Scouting with its special, girls-only environment, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. The Girl Scouts of Northeast Georgia serves over 7,000 girls and adults in 25 counties. Girl Scouts is an agency of the United Way. To volunteer, join as a member, or make a donation, please call Girl Scouts of Northeast Georgia (706) 548-7297 or (770) 536-8656.
