Cookies Are Powerful Treats

Yes! It's Girl Scout Cookie Time

In an age when you're watching every penny, it can be equally difficult to cough up between $3.50 and $4 for a very small box of cookies -- even if those Thin Mints are perhaps the best thing that will ever cross your lips. But before you say no, to those adorable, pint-sized cookie peddlers, think again.

Cookie sales help girls develop a strong sense of self-confidence, team building, goal setting, money management and much more. You see, cookies are powerful treats. They can do all this for less than a few bucks.

You never know, one of those little girls might be our future president or the scientist who discovers the cure for cancer or the leader who initiates world peace. While on a completely different scale, one of those little girls might go on to receive her Girl Scout Gold Award (highest award) and grow up to be an international colorist, Certified Interior Designer, speaker and author.

"Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place."
