Thank you to the Girl Scouts statewide who sold cookies through the
2010 Girl Scout Cookie Sale Activity!
Here’s how the cookie crumbles:
- Number of cookie packages sold in Maine: 1,124,871
- Number of girls who participated: 9,710
- Number of troops: 1,068
- Per girl average: 115.85 packages
Selling cookies is a tradition that dates back as early as 1917 when Girl Scouts began selling home-baked cookies to raise money to help their troop and community. Today’s cookie sale has grown into a highly successful program that helps girls learn and practice important leadership skills while earning proceeds for their team and council activities.
This summer, over 260 girls enjoyed a FREE week at Girl Scout Camp! They went swimming, boating, hiking, and rock climbing. They learned about nature, practiced their camping skills, and enjoyed S’mores by the campfire with their new friends.
How did these lucky girls get to go to camp for free?
