The Cookie Program helps Girl Scouts earn funds, make memories, and build lifelong skills like goal setting, money management, and leadership. This year’s theme, “Brave, Fierce, Fun,” celebrates the courage and confidence in every Girl Scout, led by our 2026 mascot, the black-footed ferret (BFF!). Whether you’re a caregiver, Troop Cookie Coordinator, or Service Unit volunteer, this site has all the tools you need for a successful and fun Cookie season.

5 Skills
These skills build a strong foundation for confidence and success in everyday life. Girl Scouts will take them into the classroom, the workplace, and beyond!
Learning these invaluable skills allow Girl Scouts to excel in life. Many successful businesswomen and community leaders say they got their start participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
Check out the tabs below for more on each of the five skills.
Goal Setting
Girls set sales goals and, with their team, create a plan to reach them. This matters because girls need to know how to set and reach goals to succeed in school, on the job, and in life.
Decision Making
Girls decide where and when to sell, how to market their sale, and what to do with their earnings. This matters because girls must make many decisions, big and small, in their lives. Learning this skill helps them make good ones.
Money Management
Girls develop a budget, take orders, and handle customers’ money. This matters because girls need to know how to handle money—from their lunch money to their allowance to (someday) their paycheck.
People Skills
Girls learn how to talk (and listen!) to their customers, as well as learning how to work as a team with other girls. This matters because it helps them do better in school (on group projects, on sports teams, and on the playground) and, later, at work.
Business Ethics
Girls act honestly and responsibly during every step of the product sale. This matters because employers want to hire ethical employees—and the world needs ethical leaders in every field.
