In a press release, the Girl Scouts of America touted the benefits of the cookie program. The organization said that girls use the money for themselves and their troop to finance travel, outdoor adventures and STEM programming.

“Many girls put the money toward impactful community projects right in their own backyards, from supporting animal shelters and food banks to working with local and state legislators to change laws,” the press release said. The Girl Scouts also cited a study that found that two out of three girls who participate in the program learn five skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

This year, participating Girl Scouts will have the chance to enter a contest that will highlight and reward “exceptional cookie bosses.”
