Cookies are scheduled to be delivered, and Girl Scouts will go direct to the public with Direct Sales, beginning on February 25 through March 12. Direct Sales, such as booth sales at local businesses, help Girl Scout troops reach their troop goals for sales. For troops, the sale provides funds to support troop activities such as field trips, camping and service projects. Cookies sales also provide funds to recruit and train adult leaders, organize Girl Scout troops, provide council-wide programs on such topics as science and careers and provide for financial assistance so all girls have access to Girl Scouting opportunities. In addition, the cookie sale is a valuable program experience for the girls.
Girls learn sales, marketing and business skills as well as some very important people skills.
