Juliette Gordon Low organized the first American Girl Guide troop meeting in the USA on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia.

Should you capitalize girl scout if you are referring to someone as being a girl scout?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, and so should "Girl Scout".

In addition:

Girl Scout Brownie is a proper noun because it names a specific level of Girl Scouting, so yes, Brownie should be capitalized whenever referring to a Girl Scout Brownie.

Note: GSUSA changed the level names so that "Girl Scout" always comes first, so "Girl Scout Brownie" is the correct usage.

Why are Girl Scout cookies only sold at a certain time of year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Girl Scout cookie sale is a learning experience for the girls. As they sell the cookies, girls develop five essential skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

The sale is limited so that the girls will also spend time on other activities, not just on cookie sales.

Also, by only selling at a certain time of the year, interest in the cookie sale can be created each year. People ask Girl Scouts about when will they be around again to sell cookies.

What does a Girl Scout get for selling cookies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each Girl Scout council in America determines their product sale guidelines and what the Girl Scouts in their council receive for selling cookies.

Each Girl Scout council retains some of the cookie profit and each troop receives some of the profit.

Girl Scout councils also offer some type of incentives for selling various amounts of cookies. These incentives might be things like stuffed animals, key chains, toys, etc. The incentives might also include some form of credit which the girls may use for Girl Scout activities or might be an additional amount of profit for the troop.

There are various awards and participation patches Girl Scouts may receive from Girl Scout cookie sales.
