Local Girl Scouts are taking orders for Girl Scout cookies, to be delivered in mid-February, all for a great cause. Six varieties, from Trefoils to Thin Mints, sell for $4 per box, and all of the proceeds support local Girl Scouts and programs.
As a Girl Scouts press release assures, their cookies are kosher foods with zero grams of trans fat per serving.
This annual program is the leading financial literacy program for girls in the United States, teaching them five essential skills they'll use for the rest of their lives: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Girls can earn money to pay their way to Girl Scout camp and other fun and exciting opportunities.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program enables girls to attend camp, have endless enjoyable learning opportunities (Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains offers more than 100 programs for girls), and learn valuable leadership skills.
Eighty-two percent of successful businesswomen in the U.S. say the Girl Scout Cookie program contributed to their success, the press release says.
Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains serves more than 12,300 girls across New Hampshire and Vermont, thanks to support from 5,000 trained and dedicated volunteers.
