It's Girl Scout Cookie Season!--more than just a cookie

Cookie Season!

 

Consider This:

Girl Scout cookies are, no doubt, delicious. Ever polished off a box in one afternoon? This is the most obvious reason to buy them. But, there are other less-obvious reasons that we might consider the most important. That young girl in the vest down the street will, one day, become a young lady. Being apart of Girl Scout Cookie sales allows her to break out of her shell, meet new people, and learn/practice valuable business skills. They even earn badges for such skills! But, most importantly, she will take those skills to a interview one day. So next time you pass that booth with all the Girl Scouts outside Walmart, stop. Ask them about the badges on their vest (believe me, they will be excited to tell you about them) and pick up a box of cookies :)
