Girl Scout Cookie season is officially upon us, which means many are looking forward to going out and finding a box of their favorite sweet treat. While Girl Scouts are well known for their annual cookie sales, there’s much more to them.
“So the biggest thing about cookies, I would say, is it's supposed to help these girls learn the soft skills that are required in life,” said Aaron Brown, Service Unit Manager, Treasurer and Cookie Manager for the Girl Scouts of San Marcos. “Goal setting, discipline, they have to be able to distinguish, ‘Hey, this is what I want, how do I get to this goal?’”
Cookie sales also play a large role in assisting the troops with their camping trips and activities.
