The Girl Scout Cookie Program Activity is the nation’s premier entrepreneurship program where girls can discover skills they will use their whole lives. This year’s theme is "Make it a Hit!" which inspires everyone to take the Cookie Program Activity to the max with new enthusiasm and new levels of participation. It’s much more than fund-raising... it’s skills for a lifetime. The Girl Scout Cookie Program Activity is more than simply a way for the troop to earn money. It’s a program that furthers the mission of Girl Scouting to develop girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
