Over the past eighty years that Girl Scouts have been selling cookies, Girl Scout Cookies have become among America’s favorite desserts. In fact, who doesn’t love a good Thin Mint every once in a while?
And, in addition to the love affair we have with these cookies, the Girl Scout Cookie sale is the largest girl-led business in the country. Often, it’s the first entrepreneurial venture for a girl. Many times, I’ve heard adult women talk about their experience of selling cookies and being a Girl Scout and how it helped ignite their interest in business and helped them to develop skills that became helpful down the road. Who knew a box of cookies could do so much?
Well, this year the cookie sale has been extended and there’s lot of excitement going on… a new baking partner, new recipes and healthier options! Like what? No artificial flavors, no artificial colors, no high-fructose syrup, no hydrogenated oils, vegan friendly options and a brand new gluten-free option. Healthier cookies and options for special dietary needs make these treats even more special.
Joining me in the studio this week to talk about the cookies, the business of selling cookies and why gluten-free and that option is good for some will be:
Taylor Williams – a 16 year-old junior from Howard County, MD who is a real cookie-selling veteran. For the past twelve years, Taylor has hit the streets with enthusiasm and this year, she’s trying to beat her all-time highest sale of 400 boxes. Wait until you hear about her brilliant sales tactics.
Danita Terry – the Director of Communications & Media Relations for Girl Scouts of Central Maryland
Amy Lettman, MS, RD, LDN, CDE with the Diabetes Center of The Maryland Metabolic Institute at Saint Agnes Hospital
