Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSofSI) would like to congratulate the Top Cookie Sellers from the traditional portion of the annual Girl Scout Cookie Program for 2025. Girl Scouts made door-to-door sales, hosted cookie booths, and even made online sales to friends and family near and far. GSofSI would like to recognize the girls who sold the most packages for their Service Unit. Let’s give a shout out to the following girls for being Top Cookie Sellers for their respective areas:
Claire Meininger from the Jersey/Calhoun County Service Unit sold 627 packages
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls gain five valuable life skills – goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics – that will benefit them throughout their lives. And, proceeds from these programs stay local to provide numerous opportunities for girls to explore their interests, become tomorrow’s leaders, and change the world.
Girl Scouts and cookies share a rich history. While recipes and box designs have changed over the years, selling cookies remains an important part of today’s Girl Scout program. The activity of selling cookies is directly related to Girl Scouts’ purpose of helping all girls reach their full potential and helping them become strong, confident, and resourceful citizens.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. Many successful businesswomen today say they got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies. During cookie activities, girls are members of a team working toward a common goal, with each girl striving to do her best.
