From now through the end of April, thousands of Girl Scouts throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties will sell cookies during the annual Girl Scout cookie sale.
According to a press release, the Girl Scout cookie sale is fun for girls and also helps them develop important life skills such as goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
In addition to teaching these valuable skills, the Girl Scout cookie sale also provides girls with multiple opportunities to raise funds toward goals they have set for themselves. Whether it is a trip overseas or a day at the spa, Girl Scouts achieve those dreams through determination and teamwork, according to the press release.
Due to its overwhelming success, the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore is once again continuing its “Gift of Caring” program where Girl Scouts can donate boxes of cookies to worthwhile causes, including the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, and the United States military, according to the press release.
