Ask a Girl Scout
Meet Lucille! At just nine years old, Lucille is already a Cookie Program pro. After all, she’s been doing it since she was a Daisy. She sets big goals and shows up to her cookie booths, rain or shine. Let’s learn more about this Cookie Champ who sold 1,003 packages this year and is headed to the All‑Star Ceremony at the House of Blues! Girls like Lucille aren't just selling cookies. They're building confidence, learning real-world skills, and discovering what they're capable of.
Q: What’s your favorite thing about selling cookies?
A: We can have so much fun, and we get rewards! Last year, I got a mini-fridge, a stuffed animal, a panda snuggie, and some pajamas, and I went to Dave and Buster’s and Wild Rivers.
Q: Do you learn things from selling cookies?
A: Selling cookies helps me to be more confident. It also helps me do math, like if someone wants five packages, I do five times six to get thirty. I also do math when I give change and count money.
Q: What will you use your cookie money for this year?
A: I am going to Camp Scherman for a whole week! Last year, I went for a weekend and had so much fun. At Camp Scherman, you can learn to cook, play games, do archery, learn how to make knots, go stargazing, canoe in the lake, and swim in the pool.
Q: Why do you like Girl Scouts?
A: I like to be in Girl Scouts because it gives me an opportunity to not be shy and to let my heart out, and have adventures and be brave!
