“The Girl Scout Cookie program helps our Girl Scout cookie sellers grow into astute, community -oriented and capable leaders,” said Karen Peterlin, CEO of Girl Scouts of North Central Alabama. “All funds generated by the program remain local, so the revenues from the largest entrepreneurial program, led by girls in the world, are beneficial for girls, troops and volunteers of GSNCA.”
