Girl Scout Cookies®
Girl Scouts and cookies share a rich
history. While recipes and box designs have changed, selling cookies
remains an important part of today's Girl Scout program.
Why Girl Scout Cookies?
The activity of selling cookies is directly
related to our purpose of helping all girls realize their full potential
and become strong, confident, and resourceful citizens.
Girl Scouts practice life skills like goal setting, money management,
and teamwork—and they have fun!
Customers get a great product and get to support girls in their
own community.
All of the proceeds support Girl Scouting in the local community.
Learning Life Skills
Many successful business women today say
they got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies. Girls practice useful
life skills like planning, decision-making, and customer service. During
cookie activities, girls are members of a team working towards a common
goal, with each girl striving to do her best.
Every local troop/group is encouraged to set realistic goals, such as
planning field trips and community service projects, to accomplish
during the year. The money earned from cookie activities helps the
troop/group achieve its goals.
So when your local Girl Scouts come calling with this year's
best-selling cookies, remember you're saying hello to tomorrow's
business leaders.
Making It Count
All of the proceeds—every penny—from a local council's cookie activities
remains in the area where the cookies are sold. This revenue is used to
benefit girls, some of it directly by remaining in the Girl Scout
troop/group treasury and some of it indirectly by subsidizing the cost
of providing the Girl Scout program in the local area.
"Cookie revenue"
helps local councils:
Recruit and train volunteer leaders for each troop/group.
Provide the financial assistance needed to make Girl Scouting available
for all girls.
Improve and maintain camp and other activity sites.
Keep event/camp fees for all members to a minimum.
Sponsor special events and projects.
Each local council sets the price per box, based on its needs and its
knowledge of its local market. The price per box, therefore, may vary
from one location to another and from one year to the next. Today's
prices reflect both the current cost of purchasing cookies from a
licensed baker and the realities of providing Girl Scout activities in
an ever-changing economic environment.
*** For the safety and security of the girls who are selling cookies,
Girl Scout Cookies are not available for purchase online.***
