Start the cookie season off at a service unit cookie kickoff! These celebrations are a great way to kick off the cookie program. Girl Scouts will participate in activities provided through the collaboration of service unit volunteers and council that support Girl Scouts knowledge of the cookie program and build their 5 Skills. The 5 Skills essential to leadership, success, and life: goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. If you're interested in participating or volunteering for your service unit's kick off, please contact your service unit team. All youth Girl Scout attendees are eligible to earn a patch!
