What can a girl do? A world of good!

Mark your calendars now for the 2013 Girl Scout Cookie Program. Pre-order taking will begin on January 11, 2013. Cookies will arrive February 16, 2013.

In 2012, Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida had our best ever Girl Scout Cookie Program with sales of 1,122,335 packages of Girl Scout Cookies.  We had over 100 girls who sold 1000+ packages of cookies, and 10 girls who sold 3000 packages or more.  In 2013, our goal is to reach new heights and help girls do a world of good!

The annual Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest girl-led entrepreneurial business.  Through the Cookie Program, girls develop five essential skills that they can use for the rest of their lives:

■ Goal Setting
■ Decision Making
■ Money Management
■ People Skills
■ Business Ethics
