dear cookie gram readers top sellers of 2010 how the cookie crumbles
dear cookie gram readers Welcome to Cookies 2011 and the year of the Super Six! Whether your girl is a brand new Girl Scout or a veteran, cookies are always an exciting part of the Girl Scout journey. I have just completed my first year as Sahuaro Girl Scout Council CEO and I have had the opportunity to speak to many women about the Girl Scout movement and cookies regularly come up in the conversation. I am proud to share with you that many of our corporate, business and community leaders all attribute being a Girl Scout as a key to their success. Selling Girl Scout cookies has given literally thousands of women the skills and confidence to succeed. The cookie program should be a wonderful experience for you and your girl. Please encourage her to lead the way as she determines how she is going to run her business. You are a vital part of her cookie team and I appreciate your willingness to support her efforts. I know that you will be very proud of your daughter’s accomplishments and you will see her grow and blossom as a leader and manager of her cookie program. Through participation in the Cookie program girls will be learning 5 key Skills to help them become leaders and managers of their own cookie program. These are the same 5 skills that business women across our community use daily to manage their organizations. Girls will set goals, make decisions, manage money, learn people skills and develop business ethics. These 5 Skills are going to help our Girl Scouts throughout their lives.
