Calling all entrepreneurs! As part of our annual cookie drive, we cast girls as leaders in the spotlight. They learn that achievements don't just happen, but are made. Whether they're on stage, in a gym, in a classroom or at a local site selling cookies, great results take place when they share their unique talents—through imagination, rehearsal, commitment and teamwork.

Here are some of the skills girls gain by selling Girl Scout cookies:

• Goal-setting
• Financial literacy
• Marketing
• Communications
• Teamwork

This year, our Cookie Program started January 11, 2008 with some fanfare created by our Cookie Vote campaign. (The winner will be announced in April.) Click here to check out our CookieVote microsite.
