Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence
and character, who make the world a better place.


The Cookies with a Mission
Participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Sale program helps girls develop essential skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.
100% of the money earned from the Cookie program stays right in your community. Your girl, her troop, and our council will receive some pretty awesome benefits. The troop will receive money for activities and girls receive recognition prizes and "Cookie Dough" to use at camp, program, or in the shop. The council proceeds help train volunteers, maintain camp properties, and keep program costs affordable.
Girls participate by selling directly to customers with cookies in hand beginning February 11. Girls will earn recognitions through March 18. Girls will earn cumulative recognitions and cookie dough during this time. The Sale is managed in each community by a team of volunteers who will distribute order cards and be available for training and support. If you have more questions, please contact us at productsales@gslakesandpines.org.
Thanks-a-Mint for supporting the Girl Scout Cookie Program!
