Does a Girl Scout troop/group have to sell cookies if it doesn want to?
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is not just about cookies. These annual activities offer many opportunities for hands-on entrepreneurial program activities. We find that most girls in Girl Scouting thoroughly enjoy this activity and look forward to it each year. Participation in this activity is voluntary and requires written permission by a parent or guardian. A troop must participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Sale program before participating in other approved fundraising activities.
