Girl Scouts ages 11 � 17 can kick off 2005 by sharpening money management skills and get all of the resources necessary to succeed as a C.A.T. (Cookie Action Team) member.

Girl Scout Council of the Mid-South has dedicated this year to increasing financial literacy, and being a part of the Cookie Action Team is a fun way for tweens and teens to expand their awareness of money matters that will follow them into adulthood while earning extra money for Girl Scout activities!

Teen Juliette Girl Scouts interested in selling Girl Scout Cookies can contact Cheryl Green at the Girl Scout Service Center for more information.
