Kassie: How Girl Scouts Helped Her Find Her Confidence

August 02, 2026

For Kassie, Girl Scouts has been a journey of finding her voice.

When she first started selling Girl Scout Cookies as a young Daisy, she was too shy to talk to customers and would hide behind her mom, asking her to do all the talking. But year after year, the Girl Scout Cookie Program helped her build confidence, strengthen her communication skills, and discover a passion for business.

Over the past 12 years, Kassie has sold an incredible 21,126 packages of Girl Scout Cookies, becoming one of Nebraska's top cookie entrepreneurs, including earning the title of the state's top seller in 2022. But for Kassie, the greatest reward hasn't been the recognition. It's been the relationships she's built and the confidence she's gained along the way.

Now preparing to study Business Administration in college, Kassie credits the Girl Scout Cookie Program with giving her the leadership, sales, and business skills she'll carry into her future. She also knows she wouldn't have made it this far without one special person by her side: her mom and longtime troop leader.

"I truly believe that it was the Girl Scout Cookie Program that shaped me into the outgoing, leader-like, and confident person that I am today."

That's the power of Girl Scouts. Every conversation, every goal, and every challenge helps girls discover confidence in themselves and skills they'll carry for a lifetime.

100 years. Countless stories. One lasting legacy.
