Today, many Girl Scouts continue to take part in such activities. Girls at the event last Saturday listed some of the activities they like.
GIRL SCOUT ONE: “We camp, we go to the zoo.”
GIRL SCOUT TWO: “We hike sometimes.”
GIRL SCOUT ONE: “We definitely sell cookies”
They also talked about why they joined the group.
GIRL SCOUT THREE: “Because I thought it was fun and I wanted to make new friends.”
GIRL SCOUT FOUR: “To see the world around me and to do different things and help others.”
GIRL SCOUT TWO: “Because we wanted to care for other people.”
Girl Scout cookies are an American tradition. Girl Scouts have been selling cookies for over eighty years as a way to raise money for Girl Scout projects. Girl Scouts of the United States says the cookie program is the largest girl-operated business in the country. The organization says selling cookies is a way to help all girls become strong and resourceful citizens.
The girls set goals for how many boxes they plan to sell. They also choose the activities and projects that they want to support. Girl Scouts also donate cookies to American troops overseas, a program called Operation Cookie Drop.
All of the money earned from cookie sales goes directly to the Girl Scout local council that organized the sale. Local councils use some of the money to provide services for Girl Scout programs and events.
However, usually ten or twenty percent of the profits goes back to the individual group that sold the cookies. This money is used for troop projects which differ as much as the Girl Scouts themselves. One Girl Scout group might provide financial support to a needy family. Another group could use the money to buy food for a local animal shelter.
