Welcome to Episode 4 of Smart As A Cookie: The Podcast, presented by USA Girl Scouts Overseas in partnership with Pop Singer/Songwriter Kristina Lachaga! During Season 1, we were joined by amazing Special Guests, including teenpreneurs, CEOs, and...Girl Scouts! In this Bonus Episode, we're meeting two Top Girl Scout Cookie Sellers (and ultra-amazing Girl Scouts!) and getting all their tips for rocking this Cookie Season! We can't wait for you to meet Mikayla Butler (National Top Girl Scout Cookie Seller) and Olivia Trader (Girl Scout Council Top Cookie Seller).

During the 2020 Cookie Season, Mikayla Butler sold...get this: 23,535 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. Yes, you read that right. And that makes her the 2020 Top Girl Scout Cookie Seller in the Nation. (Did I mention she did this *during* a Pandemic?? She's a total GOAL GETTER). 

Mikayla was a Girl Scouts for 13 years and Girl Scouts changed her life as it let her pursue her passion of helping others and making the world a better place. Through Girl Scouts, Mikayla was able to accomplish goals and dreams she once thought were impossible, reach outside her comfort zone, and help her community. She says, "I wouldn't trade all of the memories I have in Girl Scouts for the world."
