Girl Scouts of Eastern Mass’ 500 Club Recognizes Girl Scouts Who Sold Over 500 Packages of Cookies

Special to The Advocate

Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEMA), the largest girl serving organization in Massachusetts, is proud to recognize Monica and Bianca Grehs of Revere as members of the 500 Club, honoring local Girl Scouts who have sold over 500 packages of cookies during the 2024-2025 Cookie Program.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest entrepreneurial program in the world, where Girl Scouts acquire a host of invaluable entrepreneurial skills, including goal setting, money management, decision making, people skills, and business ethics. Each box of cookies sold allows Girl Scouts to develop an inextinguishable entrepreneurial spirit, gaining courage, confidence, and character as they conquer new feats and embark on new adventures. Monica and Bianca are members of Girl Scout Junior and Daisy Troop 83409 and sold a total of 1002 packages this year. Monica and Bianca will use their cookie credits to fund going to Girl Scout camp this summer.

During 2024-25, 14,012 Girl Scouts participated in the cookie program, earning troop proceeds of over $1.9M, of which 510 Girl Scouts sold over 500 packages of cookies and became members of the 500 Club. All Girl Scout Cookie proceeds stay local to fuel inspiring experiences throughout the year, including camp, amazing trips, service projects, and much more.
