Today marks the 101st birthday of the Girl Scouts and this whole week is known as Girl Scout Week. I was doing some research on the company and learned so much about our favorite cookie sales persons. I never belonged to the Scouts or Brownies, but always assumed it to be some special club that sold cookies at random times of the year, all while wearing an unattractive uniform. Now I know different and wish I could go back in time to be a Girl Scout myself. Times have changed for these little girls too, there are now apps available through ITunes that help you locate your favorite cookie and most of them carry credit card readers on their IPhone as well, which I'm sure helps their little business.
The
Five Skills that are taught are goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics; everything that I think are so important for young girls to learn and carry with them throughout life. Somethings I could use a lesson on even today!
I pinned
this recipe awhile ago on Pinterest and knew that I had to make it, after I missed this years sales. My favorite Girl Scout cookies are Samoas, its their second popular cookie after Thin Mints and preceding Tagalongs.
