Every year, the Girl Scout Cookie Program transforms into an exciting arena of friendly competition and skill-building through various cookie contests. These challenges are designed to spark creativity and sharpen business acumen, ranging from booth design competitions—where troops deck out their stands with elaborate themes—to digital marketing rewards for tech-savvy Girl Scouts. Beyond just selling boxes, these contests motivate scouts to set ambitious goals, master the art of the "pitch," and work together to earn troop badges or funding for community service projects.
