WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Did you know every Girl Scout cookie has a mission?

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is an American tradition and the nation’s
premier entrepreneurship program for girls and young women.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls develop a wide range of skills,
including goal setting, money management, teamwork, and product
marketing.

Girl Scout Cookies can send a girl to summer camp or traveling abroad! She
can pay her own way with cookie credits – what a confidence builder!

All proceeds generated from Girl Scouts of Utah’s Cookie Program support
programs for Utah girls.
