S.M.A.R.T. Cookie is our council-wide, big-energy program that gets girls ready for greatness by giving them a ton of activities to gear up for a Cookie Sale that's fun for troops and families. Everyone starts the day with a pep-rally-style kick off before girls head to Badge-earning homerooms, Troop Leaders take their masters-level session on planning, management, and sale logistics, and family members get a class brimming with all the info about how to support Cookie-selling-Girl-Scouts. S.M.A.R.T. Cookie finishes with all the pomp, circumstance, and celebration you'd expect for our "graduates" - Girl Scouts will cross the stage with product-knowledge confidence, customer service skills, marketing know-how, and that she's-got-a-goal glow!
S.M.A.R.T. Cookie is for Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Girl Scouts who want to increase their financial literacy, understand goal setting and boost their overall cookie selling expertise by getting S.M.A.R.T. - that's Savvy, Motivated, Artistic, Responsible, and Technical!
Selling cookies helps Girl Scouts grow strong and confident and helps their troop do fun and helpful things, too! Here's what Girl Scouts learn when they participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program:
-
Setting Goals
- They learn how to make a plan like how many boxes to sell and what they want to do with the money (like go to camp or help others!).
-
Making Decisions
- They choose where and how to sell cookies, like setting up a booth or asking neighbors. They also pick rewards they want to earn!
-
Handling Money
- They practice counting money, making change, and keeping track of their sales. It's like running a mini business!
-
Talking to People
- They learn to speak kindly and clearly, ask customers to buy cookies, and say "thank you" even if someone says no.
-
Being Honest and Responsible
- They keep their promises, show up on time, and always tell the truth. That helps everyone trust them!
Here's what we can promise this year's graduates:
- Girls who attend our S.M.A.R.T. Cookie program will sell more cookies.
- Girls who attend our S.M.A.R.T. Cookie program will understand and apply the five essential skills to their lives.
- Family members who attend our S.M.A.R.T. Cookie program will better understand the process and have more fun helping their girls.
