Another phase of the Girl Scout Cookie Program has kicked off with Cookie Booths at local businesses popping up!
While stocking up on Thin Mints, customers can choose to donate boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to the Military. Customers can make $4 donations that represent a box of cookies that will be given to Soldier’s Angels and Riverbend Troop Support, organizations that send care packages to the brave men and women in our military. When troops receive these cookies, it serves as a great reminder of home.
Last cookie season, Girl Scouts in our local council donated 30,051 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to the Military. In 2020, girls have set a goal to send even more. Currently, girls have collected 17,221 boxes. To help Girl Scouts in your community reach their goal, remember to add an extra box (or two) for our Troops.
Girl Scouts across the country will celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend February 28–March 1, 2020. The annual occasion honors the achievements of young entrepreneurs across the United States—Girl Scouts who run successful cookie booths and door-to-door cookie sales as well as market their businesses online using the Digital Cookie® platform. And with the new Lemon-Ups™ cookie, along with the full portfolio of your favorite varieties, there’s never been a better time to invest in girls by purchasing Girl Scout Cookies®.
Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls empower themselves as they earn their own money to put toward a range of experiences, some of which are illustrated on this year’s refreshed cookie packaging—from adventure-packed camping and canoeing to exploring space science and designing robots, to taking meaningful action to improve girls’ communities. Every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies makes experiences like these possible for girls in your local community, giving them hands-on opportunities to hone valuable skills like decision making and business ethics.
