WALLA WALLA-Waitsburg Girl Scout Troop 5381 hosted a Girl Scout Cookie Rally for Girl Scouts Service Area 492 at the Lions Building in Waitsburg on Sunday, January 28. Waitsburg Troop Leader Brandi Hollingsworth said the event is a workshop to prepare local scouts for the iconic annual cookie sale. The fundraiser supports Girl Scouts as they learn entrepreneurial skills and fund local life-changing, girl-led programs, experiences, and learning in their communities.
This was the eighth year the Waitsburg troop has hosted the event for area Girl Scout troops from Walla Walla, Milton-Freewater, Dayton, and Waitsburg. Hollingsworth said that 62 Girl Scouts and 11 adults attended the event at the Waitsburg Fairgrounds preparing for the sale, which will begin locally on February 9 for pre-orders. Scouts moved through various stations to learn about marketing, money management, decision-making, business ethics, and people skills.
"When people buy Girl Scout Cookies, they're buying so much more than cookies. Every package of Girl Scout Cookies sold puts girls one step closer to making real change in their own futures, communities, and the world," said GSUSA Chief Revenue Officer Wendy Lou. "Girls break expectations through the power of the cookie program and open a host of possibilities beyond the box."
