A Sweet Tradition<br />
It has been more than 90 years since <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>s began selling home-baked cookies to raise money. The<br />
idea was so popular that, in 1936, <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>s enlisted bakers to handle the growing demand.<br />
GSGATL currently partners with Little Brownie Bakers. We are a Super Six council, meaning that GSGATL<br />
o�ers the nation’s most favorite and best-selling varieties <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Cookies: Thin Mints, Samoas, Trefoils, Do-si-dos, Tagalongs and, Savannah Smiles. For additional<br />
information on cookie varieties, including nutritional details, visit www.girlscoutscookies.org.<br />
In addition, the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Chocolates & Magazines Program allows girls to sell chocolates, nuts, and<br />
magazines to raise funds early in the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> year for start-up expenses, kicking o� in early September<br />
<strong>of</strong> each year.<br />

magazines) gives girls a chance to run a business and practice leadership skills they can use in their lives. <strong>Girl</strong>s will enjoy all the bene�ts<br />
this important component <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Leadership Experience has to o�er. They’ll engage in planning and goal-setting (aiming<br />
to achieve their personal best), teamwork, marketing, money management (including the importance <strong>of</strong> saving for future needs),<br />
and the enduring skill <strong>of</strong> customer service. As girls grow, they will get to know their products (ingredients and calories, for example),<br />
and they will design innovative and creative marketing strategies and tools. <strong>Girl</strong>s will also be encouraged to share with customers<br />
how product sales help GSGATL and their community. Volunteers can help girls develop leadership skills while they engage in <strong>Girl</strong><br />
<strong>Scout</strong> Cookie and Chocolates & Magazines Programs by using the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> processes <strong>of</strong> girl-led, learning by doing, and cooperative<br />
learning. As they participate in product programs, girls will:<br />

Determining Who Can Participate<br />
