girl scouts

“what social position does selling girl scout cookies prepare women for?”


selling girl scout cookies prepares women for future success in life. this activity helps you girls how to interact with their community. When I was a girl scout my troop and I would set goals at our meetings, organize a schedule of hours to work, and who would be working when. We would then calculate how many boxes each girl would need to sell in order to achieve our goal. Our group leader would give us guidelines on how to ask customers if they would like cookies. We would then practice on each other. We would practice giving recommendations on our favorite cookie, how to make change, making our display appealing and functional, and work with one another to help our troop achieve our goal. It was a big ordeal and something my friends and I would always look forward too. Selling cookies give girls the idea of how you will have to work to earn money in the future. You will have to set goals, budget, be organized, and work well with others. These attributes will need to be used in almost any type of social position whether it is a homemaker, or a business owner.
