New Packaging Design For the first time since 1999, all boxes of Girl Scout Cookies have a new look and a new purpose: to elevate the significance of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. The pictures are of girls doing activities that a girl could do with the proceeds her troop/group earns! Everyone knows how tasty Girl Scout Cookies are, but a lot of people who buy them don't realize what a Girl Scout learns from selling them. Girl Scouts gives every girl access to life-changing experiences that inspire her to do something big and that is pictured on each box. The Girl Scout Cookie Program empowers a girl with the strength, abilities and drive she'll need to become an accomplished woman who benefits herself, her family and her world.

They want: someone who can set goals and meet deadlines. someone who works well with others. someone who understands customers. someone who can influence others. someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable.
