Since the 1920’s, Girl Scouts have sold cookies as a way to raise money for troop activities. The cookie program teaches girls valuable life skills, such as how to set and work towards goals, meet and greet people, and the importance of following through on a promise to deliver a product. The cookie program generates approximately 50% of the Girl Scouts of Western Washington’s operating revenue and a significant portion of troop funds.
