ABOUT THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIE PROGRAM

The Girl Scout Cookie Program® teaches girls about entrepreneurship as they have fun learning essential skills like money management, public speaking, and decision making, which set them up for a lifetime of success. Nine in ten Girl Scouts say the cookie program has built their entrepreneurship skills and their interest in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career path—so every cookie purchase is an investment in the world-changing business leaders of tomorrow. What’s more, each and every purchase stays local to power amazing experiences and leadership opportunities for girls in communities across the United States. GSUSA’s refreshed cookie packaging (with the same great taste!) continues to emphasize what the cookie program is all about, and the updated images feature current Girl Scouts taking part in a diverse range of experiences available to members—from adventure-packed camping and canoeing, to exploring space science and designing robots, to taking action to improve their communities.

DONATION PROGRAM

Girl Scouts are experts at giving back, let your customers know how easy it is to do the same through the Care to Share Donation Program! Care to Share, a virtual way to support Girl Scouts, allows girls to sell cookies as a service project without having to handle or store actual boxes of product. This program benefits Girl Scout troops and councils while supporting the patriotic care packages sent to members of the armed forces serving overseas and local first responders. Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast partners with local military and community organizations to provide boxes of cookies to those who serve us. Products will be included in patriotic mailings or delivered to community police and firefighters! Cookies can be donated virtually through online donation or when Girl Scouts are selling directly. 

To donate online, visit here and indicate that your donation is for products and Care to Share – be sure to designate the ‘ordering’ Girl Scout Troop number in the notation area.

There’s a certain time of year that brings excitement to the masses – Girl Scout cookie season. While cookie-lovers everywhere stock up on Thin Mints and Peanut Butter Patties, Girl Scouts are gaining valuable life experience that spans well beyond their booths. 

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is built around five skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. When you make a Girl Scout cookie purchase, you are helping the next generation of G.I.R.L.s (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ learn what it takes to be successful. You’re also supporting the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world! 

Girls set goals for the season and create strategies to meet them, setting them up for success in school, their future careers, and in life. They choose when and where to sell cookies, how to market their sale, and what to do with their earnings. They learn the same financial literacy that will one day be applied to their paychecks through developing a budget and handling customer’s money. They learn how to talk to their customers with confidence and to their team members with care. They act honestly and responsibly during every step of their sale, instilling them with the skills that businesses need in their employees and the world needs in their leaders! 




Every year Girl Scouts use their cookie earnings to do amazing things in their communities and beyond. From community service projects and exploring the outdoors at camp, to S.T.E.M. activities and trips they’ll never forget, they learn that they can (and will!) accomplish any goal they set their minds to. 

Now, with Cookie Finder, girls can do more, learn more, and have more fun than ever before – all while giving cookie customers more ways to support them and their goals. Find a cookie booth near you.
