Last year, the Juliette's Pearls Club was formed to honor Elite Entrepreneurs, the top cookie sellers each year. The club is named after Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts, who sold a beloved string of pearls to fund the operating expenses of the first Girl Scout Council. Elite Entrepreneurs receive a necklace with a single pearl on it and will receive an extra pearl each year they remain a top seller.
