Home » Cookies & More Helping Girls Build a Brighter Tomorrow Juliette Gordon Low, Founder of the Girl Scouts here in the U.S., believed so firmly in the Girl Scout program that she sold her valuable matched set of pearls to fund the organization in its early days. Juliette Low said, “It is of paramount importance to teach the young citizen to assume responsibility for her own development.” Product sales — magazine/candy/nut sales in the fall and our cookie sale in the spring — allow girls to work toward their troop goals by working together to raise money for troop activities and support their service unit and council as well. As girls invest their time and effort to reach immediate goals, they’re doing much more than that. They’re investing in their tomorrows as competent and successful adults who work, lead and care intensely for their jobs, communities and families. |
