Decision making is one of the five essential skills girls learn through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. It\u2019s a skill that will help them for the rest of their lives whether they\u2019re choosing to participate in cookies, planning their booth schedule, or deciding how to use their troop\u2019s cookie proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n

Learning to make decisions helps Girl Scouts become confident leaders. They learn that their choices matter, that they can change their minds if they learn something new, and that mistakes are opportunities to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember Girl Scouts isn\u2019t just about cookies, it\u2019s about creating a safe space for girls to try, fail, succeed, and grow. The decision making skills they build now will help them navigate school, friendships, careers, and leadership roles for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some activities you can do with your Girl Scouts that will enhance their decision making skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
