About the 2010 Girl Scout Cookie Program

During the 2010 Girl Scout Cookie Program, Girl Scouts across the country will be inspiring change. They will discover what matters most, connect with people in their community, and use the power of Girl Scout Cookies to take action and make the world a better place.

When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they are also contributing to the ongoing work of Girl Scouting. The Cookie Program supports all the girls in the council and makes it possible to provide low-cost girl activities, council events, resources and support for adult learning. One hundred percent of the Girl Scout Cookie proceeds support Girl Scouts in the local community, with girls making decisions about how their troop proceeds will be spent.

Many of today’s successful businesswomen made their first-ever sales presentations while selling Girl Scout Cookies, and attribute their business know-how and success to their participation in the annual Cookie Program.

Now that you’re inspired about the 2010 Cookie Season and all it has in store…here’s what to do to ensure you are ready to participate:

  • Ensure all girls are registered members
     

  • Recruit and/or volunteer someone to manage the cookie program at the troop level
     

  • Start planning your cookie activities with the girls using the Little Brownie Activity Books, or visit the Little Brownie website: www.littlebrownie.com
     

  • Ask the girls to set personal goals and brainstorm activity and service goals to be funded by the cookie proceeds
     

  • Check out the requirements for earning the Cookie Activity Pin: www.girlscouts.org; it’s all about online marketing

With all the fun activities along with delicious and unique cookies, this cookie season will be the most inspiring ever! Remember, the Cookie Program begins Jan. 8!
