We are so excited to celebrate our entrepreneurship programming as the key to powering all the amazing Girl Scout opportunities in this Guide! From Art-chery to robotics teams to traveling to the Galapagos or Australia, girls experience financial empowerment by engaging in the World’s Largest Girl-Led Entrepreneurial Program in the World. While focusing on decision making, goal setting, financial literacy, business ethics and people skills, girls learn the importance of how a logo makes customers feel, how cookies are developed from an idea on paper to arriving packaged in NorCal, and how to make their business stand out from thousands of other online businesses. Over 5000 of our incredible volunteers annually invest over $4 million dollars’ worth of volunteer hours to support our girls’ businesses.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2019 COOKIE PROGRAM 1000+ PACKAGE ENTREPRENEURS!

50 • THE GUIDE 2019-2020 For my Gold Award Project, I funded a library, art center, and playground for two schools in Hyderabad, India. My Gold Award project inspired me to start
G my own nonprofit, Schools for Success, which
encourages teenagers to help underprivileged i schools around the world. Being a Girl Scout for over r l 11 years, I learned to be a leader, be courageous, be kind, and so many other invaluable traits; but most of S all, Girl Scouts taught me to never give up. Throughout c my life, I could always rely on my Girl Scout sisters o and leaders for guidance and support. The Girl Scouts u community has not only provided me with the resources t for success,but has also helped me grow as an individual R woman. Girl Scouts is honestly the place where every girl is e given the opportunity to make a difference in the world. I am fl honored to be a part of a community, which strives to help women e .
