Why does some of the income from the Girl Scout cookie sale program activity go to the council?
A. Girl Scout councils use cookie sale program activity proceeds to provide property upkeep, essential services to groups and individual girls. All of the program resources, adult development materials, and communication support that a group receives come through the council structure. The council underwrites program scholarships, wider opportunities, and special events throughout the year. This keeps fees for girls and volunteers to a minimum and ensures high-quality, safe experiences for all.
