Girl Scouts Of Minnesota And Wisconsin Lakes And Pines

Council sponsored camp and event programming focus on the five outcomes of the girl scout leadership experience including sense of self, positive values, challenge seeking, community problem solving, and healthy relationships. In addition to these outcomes, girls in our programs connect with their peers, develop conflict-resolution skills, learn how to advocate for themselves, and feel empowered to make a difference in their communities.

The girl scout cookie and fall product sales program is the largest girl-led business in the country and generates immeasurable benefits for girls, their communities, and their councils. Girls set goals to support their chosen activities for the year, to fund community service and leadership projects, to attend summer camp, to travel to destinations near and far and to provide events for girls in their community. Participating in the girl scout product programs helps girls develop essential skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. In addition to our regional cookie rally events, in preparation for the 2024 cookie season, we facilitated programming to 636 girls through earned service unit rallies. Girls, troops, and our council receive awesome benefits. The troop receives money for activities and girls receive recognition prizes and vouchers to use at camp, for program attendance, or in the shop. The council proceeds help train volunteers, maintain camp properties, and keep program costs affordable.
