Cookie Expo will prepare younger Girl Scouts for a successful cookie season by building essential skills in Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics-all while having fun! Girls will take part in hands-on stations, exciting games and engaging challenges that boost confidence, teamwork and sales strategies. Don’t miss this chance to kick off cookie season with enthusiasm, learning and plenty of Girl Scout spirit!
Meanwhile, older Girl Scouts are invited to step into a world of fun and learning at our Cookie University: The Game of Life. Get a taste of what it’s like to run a successful business! Imagine a life-sized game board where girls become entrepreneurs for a day, making real-world decisions that sharpen their leadership and financial skills. As they move through each station, they’ll take on exciting roles like CEO, Marketing Expert and Sales Superstar, experiencing everything from setting goals and managing finances to developing customer relationships.
