About the Girl Scout Cookie Program
People may say it’s just a cookie, but no university has produced as many female business owners as the Girl Scout Cookie Program. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the world, providing girls with the opportunity to learn real-world business skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. In 2013, more than 16,000 Orange County Girl Scouts sold more than two and a half million packages of cookies, earning funds for their troop activities, camp, community service projects, travel and more. All Girl Scout Cookie proceeds stay in Orange County to provide leadership experiences, safe facilities, trained volunteers and financial aid for more than 22,000 Girl Scouts. According to a recent study conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute in conjunction with an independent research firm, women who were Girl Scouts as children display significantly more positive life outcomes than non-Girl Scout alumnae. Girl Scout alumnae have higher perceptions of self, higher rates of volunteerism and civic engagement, higher rates of college education and higher household incomes than non-alumnae. To join, volunteer, reconnect with or donate to Girl Scouts, call (949) 461-8800 or visit www.GirlScoutsOC.org. Find out more about the Girl Scout Cookie Program at www.cookiesoc.org.
