GSCCC salutes our 2019 Cookie Entrepreneur Officers and we know they’ll be amazing role models for other girls as we go into our
Fall Product Program season. The Girl Scout Cookie Program and our Fall Product
Program gives girls an opportunity to explore different career paths
(traditional and non-traditional), gain networking skills, and have
opportunities for mentorships. As budding entrepreneurs, girls gain essential
life skills and work as a team to accomplish common goals and solve problems,
while building the confidence they need to shine as girls, as young women, and
as future lea ders. And did we mention the fun?! They have lots of that along the
way, too.
Our successful formula includes:
Goal-setting & Financial Literacy - Want
to start your own business or earn money for a trip to Rome? Let us help get
you there!
Decision-making - Thinking of starting a
business, but unsure of how to price your product? Girl Scouts know how! Want
to learn how to negotiate? Our girls can do that, too!
Business ethics - Reputation and being
socially responsible means a lot in the business world, and we want to help our
girls understand how to build their brand by understanding business ethics! If
you want to run your own successful business or master the art of sales, our business
& entrepreneurship programs are for you.
GSCCC’s magazine spotlighted our 2019 Cookie CEOs this month, but
we left out an important beam of light on that spotlight – the group photo of
ALL the superstars! We’ve added it to this blog post and our online magazine.
Congrats to all the girls who accomplished their 2019 cookie goals.
Looking ahead…
October is National Women’s Small Business
Month. National Women's Small Business Month is
a time to recognize and applaud the talented, dedicated and driven women
whose entrepreneurial spirit helps drive our nation's economy forward. Consider
inviting a woman who owns a small business to your troop meeting to talk about
her experience. Don’t forget to ask if she was a Girl Scout growing up! We’d
love to get her involved today as a Girl Scout alum.
