Girl Scout Cookie Season is Here! Here's How to Get Yours
It's the most wonderful time of the year! No - we're not talking about Christmas. We're talking about Girl Scout cookie season! These novelty cookies aren't sold in stores and can only be bought from a Girl Scout or off the Girl Scout cookie website.
While the average Girl Scout cookie season can run from January to April, it tends to vary by location.
Why Buy Girl Scout Cookies
Aside from the obvious answer that they're delicious, you should consider buying Girl Scout cookies to support the organization and the young girls that are a part of it. The Girl Scout Cookie program is valuable to young girls by teaching them early entreprenurial skills, such as money management, social interaction, and business ethics, as well as helping them learn and grow in their program.
According to GSUSA, it's "the largest entrepreneurial program in the world". All proceeds from the boxes of cookies go to the local troops and council, which can help fund trips, camps, service projects, and more through the year.
Chief Revenue Officer of GSUSA, Wendy Lou, stated in a press release, “The funds girls earn throughout the season directly power girls’ journeys in leadership, entrepreneurship and community building. The sweet success of each sale is a testament to how much girls can change the world when they put their minds to it.”
