This week’s Cookie Seller Spotlight Winners are:

Daisy/Brownie/Junior Winner: Daisy Troop 27514 (pictured: Reese D., Penelope P., Nora M., and Nora S.)

Daisy Troop 27514 prepared for their first ever cookie booth by having a meet-up to create signs and talk about their favorite cookies to eat. They spent several meetings working on cookie-selling information, learning about different types of money, and practicing counting and making change. The girls also went over each cookie type and practiced saying what they liked about each flavor. Perfecting their sales pitch with each other was tons of fun too! They put in lots of hard work to be prepared for selling. At their Booth, they helped set up the table with all the cookie varieties and took turns wearing a fun cookie costume to help draw customers in. Their enthusiastic personalities and smiling faces helped sell 55 boxes in two hours! Way to go, Troop 27514!

Cadette/Senior/Ambassador Winner: Senior Troop 57589 (pictured: Felix R.)

Felix offers cookies to everyone, keeps a positive attitude no matter what the response, and thanks customers for supporting Girl Scouts if they say they've already purchased cookies from another troop. As the only one currently selling in our troop, Felix tries to support troops before and after our booths when possible.

Each year, the troop highlight is donating to Gillette Children's Hospital over St. Patrick's Day weekend. After today’s booth, Felix has collected 225 packages for donation! Some proceeds go toward making tie blankets for the kids at Gillette, and the annual cookie and blanket drop-off is Felix’s favorite part of the season

With 11 years of cookie sales experience, Felix has gained confidence, responsibility, money management, and communication skills. Selling cookies has also taught valuable lessons in goal setting and perseverance, especially during slower sales periods.

Girl Scouts in the winning troops receive the 2025 Cookie Seller Spotlight patch. All weekly winners are eligible for Cookie Seller Spotlight of the Year and the grand prize, a Dave & Buster's Experience for their troop. Submit your troop or Girl Scout's story today.
