Additional Camp/Program
Fees
Girls can use cookie proceeds
to go on trips, take part in community service projects and participate
in special activities. Cookie revenue helps the Girl Scout Council
keep the network of support strong for girls, allowing us to recruit and
train adults for each Girl Scout troop, provide financial assistance to
make Girl Scouting available to all girls, improve and maintain program
facilities and sponsor special events and projects focused on the unique
needs and interests of girls. Families are an important part of
this tradition. By participating you can help your girl become a
person of courage, confidence and character who makes the world a better
place. You support is needed as she takes the lead to discover, connect
and take action to meet her goals.
If your daughter did not
participate in the 2009 Cookie Program, the following additional charges
