The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led enterprise in the country, engaging girls with five skills they will use throughout their lives:

• Goal setting
• Decision making
• Money management
• People skills
• Business ethics

Many successful women leaders tell us that their first entrepreneurial experience came from selling Girl Scout Cookies. Girl Scouts have been selling cookies for more than 80 years.

All cookies are sold at $3.50 per package. Proceeds from the Cookie Program stay within the community to benefit local girls. Troops use the money for everything from field trips to community service projects. With these funds, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri can also deliver programs for girls, provide training for adult volunteers and maintain three local Girl Scout camps.
