Feb. 6, 2014 In recognition of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, Girl Scouts of the USA and councils across the country will celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend this Friday through Sunday, February 7-9. Representing the High Country, troops from Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) will be out in the community operating cookie booths this weekend.1wilxz1cz2ycf-1

“National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is a great opportunity to share the fun and excitement of the cookie program with everyone,” said Marcia Cole, chief executive officer of GSCP2P in a press release. “It is important to remind people that supporting the program helps girls build a lifetime of skills and confidence.”

The five life skills the cookie program is designed to teach girls are goal setting, decision making, money management, business ethics and people skills.

GSCP2P’s local council serves more than 16,000 girls and approximately 7,000 adult volunteers in 40 counties and is one of 112 councils nationwide. Girl Scouts programs promote health development and are commended for building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who will go on to make the world a better place.
