Cookies 2012
What can a cookie do? More than you see!

There’s more to Girl Scout cookies than meets the eye. The Girl Scout cookie program is a lot of fun for girls, but that’s just the beginning. The largest girl-led business in the country, the cookie program helps girls develop five key business and leadership skills. Girls set cookie goals to support their chosen activities for the year, to fund community service and leadership projects, to attend summer camp, to travel to destinations near and far and to provide events for girls in their community.

Savannah Smiles


In recognition of the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting, a new cookie will be sold during the 2012 sale. The “Savannah Smile,” named after the birthplace of Girl Scouting in Savannah, Georgia, is a refreshing lemon cooler in the shape of the world-famous brownie smile.
