National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend

This annual celebration highlights the creativity and success of Girl Scout Cookie entrepreneurs nationwide and the positive impact their cookie earnings make possible. The event takes place each February. Please refer to the annual calendar for exact dates. Remember to share your Digital Cookie link with customers to help girls reach their goals.

Gift of Caring

Gift of Caring (GOC) is our council‑wide service project that allows customers to purchase virtual packages of Girl Scout Cookies in support of a charitable cause. Every donation helps Girl Scouts make a meaningful difference in the community.

· Purchase with Purpose: Customers contribute knowing their donation creates real, positive impact.

· Deliver with Heart: Girl Scouts collect the funds, and donated cookies are delivered directly by our community partners. Girls and troops do not handle or distribute the cookies.

· Local Impact: Our council partners with local charities to ensure donated cookies reach the individuals and organizations who serve our community every day.

GOC is a true win‑win. It helps Girl Scouts boost their sales, reach their goals faster, and show appreciation for community heroes. Girl Scouts earn special rewards, and troops earn proceeds through participation. We invite everyone to join in and support this meaningful program. Refer to the rewards panel for details.

Booth VIP Sticker

You work hard at your cookie booths - and you deserve recognition for building your customer service and people skills! Here's how it works: keep an eye out at your booth. Council staff and special partners will be out visiting booths all season, and when they stop by yours, they'll hand you a sticker to celebrate your hard work!

Illuminate Your Booth

Decorate your booth to celebrate this year's cookie theme! Booths are your opportunity to create excitement with customers and remind them of the valuable skills you are learning. A great topic to share at your booth is what you aim to do with your proceeds — customers love to know what their money is going toward! Take photos showing Girl Scouts working at their booth and being cookiepreneurs.

We'll be launching a challenge where you can submit your photos for a chance to win a prize. Stay tuned for campaign details in Cookie Bites!

Cookie Rewards toggle arrow

In addition to learning life skills, Girls Scouts are rewarded for their cookie sales with tangible reward items, experiences, and Cookie Dough credits. The Reward panel is found on their Girl Order Card and Girl Scouts can set their goals toward what they want to earn! All Girl Scouts who participate in the cookie program are eligible.

Every package sold from January through the end of the season counts, including Digital Cookie orders, booth sales, Gift of Caring donations, and in‑person purchases.

Girls set their goals, track their progress, and enjoy the rewards they’ve worked hard to earn.
