Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has a favorite Girl Scout cookie flavor: Thin Mints. The former scout prefers them crumbled on top of vanilla ice cream. The documentary "Cookie Queens," in which Meghan is an executive producer, follows four Girl Scouts between ages 5 and 12 as they work to sell cookies and learn valuable skills.
Meghan credits her experience as a Girl Scout with teaching her about entrepreneurship and financial independence. She believes that the skills girls develop through participating in the cookie program are essential for future success. Director Alysa Nahmias chronicled the six-week selling spree, which was filmed over 300 hours of footage across the country.
The documentary highlights the impact of the Girl Scout cookie program on young girls' lives and their understanding of economics and business. It also showcases the girls' interactions with the adult world, including rejection and failure. Meghan notes that watching her subjects made her nostalgic for her own experiences as a Girl Scout in California.
Nahmias says she was inspired to make the documentary after hearing about a Girl Scout who sold an ungodly amount of cookies and seeing how much money is generated each year through the program. The film aims to capture the spirit of entrepreneurship and community that defines the experience of being a Girl Scout.
The release of "Cookie Queens" comes as Meghan continues to focus on stories that resonate with people, including her upcoming Archewell Productions series. She believes that films like "Cookie Queens" are essential for sparking conversations about important issues and promoting empathy and understanding among audiences.
Overall, "Cookie Queens" is a heartwarming documentary that showcases the impact of the Girl Scout cookie program on young girls' lives and provides insight into the skills they develop through participating in the program.

It's interesting how they're trying to capture the spirit of entrepreneurship and community, but also show them dealing with rejection and failure. I mean, that's a big part of life, right? 
But what I love is that Meghan sees this as an opportunity for girls to develop valuable skills for future success. That's so inspiring! 
And can we talk about how these experiences shape our relationship with money and economics? It's crazy how much we learn from something as simple as a cookie, right? 
And the documentary, "Cookie Queens", seems to be all about how Girl Scouts learn entrepreneurship and financial independence, which is actually kinda cool 
. I mean, who doesn't want to learn those skills? But at the same time, I'm not sure if I would watch a 6-hour documentary about girls selling cookies - that sounds like a total snooze fest 
... unless it's really inspiring or something! 
I mean, I put Thin Mints on my vanilla ice cream all the time but now I'm thinking of trying some matcha too... maybe with a crumbled cookie on top? Idk, just thinking about it is making me hungry 
. And have you seen that documentary "Cookie Queens" yet? It's so inspiring! Meghan's favorite Girl Scout cookie flavor is actually kinda funny 
.
... it's so cool to see meggan (i think she should go by megan tho 
) talking about how being a girl scout helped her learn business stuff and become independent 
. and it's great that meggan is backing it as an exec producer 
. it's like, the more we talk about these kinds of issues, the better off we are 
... i'm so here for this docu and can't wait to watch it 
.
! it's amazing to see Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, sharing her love for Thin Mints and being all nostalgic about her own Girl Scout days 
. I think it's awesome that the film is showing the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and financial independence 
. Meghan's right, these skills are super important for future success! 
. can't wait to check out the doc and learn more about the Girl Scout cookie program
