Girl Scout Cookies

If you’ve been approached by your neighborhood Girl Scouts recently, then you know it’s Girl Scout Cookie season, which officially kicked-off on January 20th and is in full swing until the end of March. Melanie Merians is the Chief Development Officer for Girl Scouts of the San Fernando Valley -- she visits with us to talk about the Girl Scout cookie program, which is considered the nation’s premier leadership and business development program for girls. The voluntary program teaches girls about goal setting, money management, public speaking and other practical skills.
