It's January, a time usually set aside for making New Year's resolutions and getting healthy eating habits back on track, and for Girl Scouts of Central Texas (GSCTX) it's the launch of the 2019 Girl Scout Cookie season.
While purchasing boxes of cookies may seem antithetical to making good decisions for the new year, each box of cookies sold supports the largest financial investment in girls annually in the United States and a powerful entrepreneurship incubator for the next generation of female leaders.
For over 100 years, the public has wondered: What makes a Thin Mint so irresistible? How many Peanut Butter Patties are too many Peanut Butter Patties? Can a Caramel DeLite change the world? And the answer is yes. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program®, girls not only discover their inner leadership potential but also use their earnings to power experiences for themselves and their troops, including travel, outdoor adventure, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programming.
