| Every year, thousands of girls
across the Cahaba Council area gain valuable knowledge while
providing the community with a special treat—Girl Scout
cookies. This year was no exception.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program, an integral part of Girl
Scouting's Business and Economic Literacy initiative for
girls ages 6-17, provides finance, marketing, and public
speaking skills, along with valuable experiences that build
girls' self-confidence and help them develop their own personal
leadership style.
For more information regarding the Girl Scouts of Cahaba
Council Cookie Program Activity, please contact Nicole
Harris.
Get in the Spotlight… with Girl Scout Cookies!
Families can help girls by practicing their sales talk, accompanying girls door-to-door, taking them to work, volunteering for booth sales and monitoring emails sent to family and friends.
Help your Girl Scout set goals for this year's Cookie Activities. Discuss together her personal and team goals. Help her set personal goals that will increase her life skills. The goals she chooses should be separate from how many packages of cookies she hopes to sell. Ask her how you can help her reach these personal goals.
Congratulate her when she is successful. When there are setbacks, help transform her disappointment into a “positive” by asking her what she thinks she may to do differently the next time.
Thank you for encouraging and supporting your Girl Scout in all of her Girl Scout and Cookie Activities.
