Yum! It’s time for Girl Scout Cookies!
Yes, they’re awesomely delicious. But buying Girl Scout Cookies is about so much more than just handing over money for a box of treats.
It's about having fun and making new friends. And it's about the skills a girl gains from interacting directly with you—the cookie customer! It's about the experience of running her very own cookie business, working with others—and building a lifetime of confidence as she learns five skills essential to leadership, success, and life.
When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you make adventures possible with every box.
Will your Girl Scout Cookie Professional help the local animal shelter across town? Cross the country to see the Washington Monument or the Grand Canyon? Cross an ocean to fly through the rainforest on a zip line? It’s up to her and her troop.
When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they get more than new adventures. They develop important life skills—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—that will set them up for success beyond anything they can imagine.
That’s why we ask you to buy the delicious cookies you crave all year from your local Girl Scout Cookie Professional—not from her parents. You will enjoy your favorite cookie even more knowing you helped her do all the amazing things she’s got planned for this year.
Why buy cookies?
When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you help fund new adventures and life-changing opportunities for girls—from trips to our nation's capital to community projects, summer camp, and charitable donations. The more cookies you buy, the more you help today’s girls develop into tomorrow’s leaders.
Where to buy cookies?
There are several ways to satisfy your Girl Scout Cookie craving. You can get cookies at a Girl Scout Cookie booth in your community by entering your zip code in the “Find Cookies!” tool or downloading the Cookie Finder mobile app for your iOS® or Android® phone or tablet.
Or—and this is pretty exciting—a girl you know can invite you to buy your cookies online with the Digital Cookie platform, now in its second year!
And remember to check out this year’s cookie lineup, see how girls benefit from your purchase, brush up on cookie history, and find easy-to-make recipes using delicious Girl Scout Cookies!
