National Girl Scout Cookie Day
Today is National Girl Scout Cookie Day! We all know that Girl Scout cookies are delicious, but they’re important, too. When girls sell cookies they develop the 5 Skills (Money Management, Goal Setting, Decision Making, People Skills, and Business Ethics) that will help them throughout their lives, from school projects to their first job to when they might run a company someday.
To celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Day, you can:
• Check out the It’s Your Business—Run It! video series on the ForGirls site, and hear how these skills helped the women profiled succeed in running their small businesses.
• Trace the route of the Girl Scout Cookie Truck around New York City.
• Watch our fun What Grown-Ups Need to Know About Selling Girl Scout Cookies video to learn more about the 5 Skills Girl Scouts develop when they “learn by earning” and sell Girl Scout cookies on their own.
