- Developing self-esteem, self-reliance, and personal achievement
- Learning about entrepreneurship and basic business/financial planning
- Earning her own way and handling money responsibly
- Developing interpersonal and teamwork skill
- Understanding how their efforts contribute to the overall good of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, its troops and the Girl Scout movement
Girl Scout Cookie Share
What is Cookie Share? People interested in supporting Girl Scouts, but who have already filled their cookie quota can now purchase cookies through the Cookie Share program to be donated to local charitable organizations. Cookie Share is also a great way for people to buy after they have already purchased cookies from someone else. Customers can support two groups – Girl Scouts and the agency receiving the cookies all with one purchase. The girls benefit from the amazing experience of providing community service. The troop, service unit, and GSSJC benefit from the extra sales. And of course, the organization receiving the donated cookies benefits as well.
