Ready. Set. Cookie!
















When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you make adventures possible with every box.

When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they get more than new adventures. They're able to develop important life skills--goal setting, decision making, money management, fostering strong interpersonal relationships, and business ethics--that will set them up for success beyond anything they can imagine.

Our 2016 Cookie Sale is starting Saturday, January 16th. We have a list of important dates and helpful resources on our website, but we'll go over what's new this year and what you can expect for this upcoming season!

What's Returning?

Gluten Free Toffee-tastic and Rah Rah Raisin Cookies: Back for a second year of a two year pilot run, these cookies are sure to be popular! Toffee-tastics will be available in limited quantities on a first come, first served basis. *Pre-ordered cookies are guaranteed.

Digital Order Card: DOC is back-making selling cookies to far away friends and family easy! This year there will be a minimum of 4 boxes per order and a lower shipping cost.

Cookie Cupboards: Plan a booth sale in your community and pick up the cookies from the Cupboard. Cupboard orders must be placed at least a week in advance to guarantee availability. Cupboards will be held March 17th-April 23rd and the hours will be Thursdays 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m., Fridays 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., and Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. If you come outside of those hours, a Product Team member may not be there to distribute your cookies.

5 for 5!: 5 for 5 is back with a twist! Customers who purchase five boxes of cookies earn entry into the contest. Five winners will be invited to stop by Council to select a Golden Ticket. These tickets will be the key to fabulous prizes, including the coveted "Cookies for a Year" prize. Don't worry -- troops aren't left out of the fun! The five troops that sell to the winners will receive their own Golden Ticket prizes. Head over to our website to print off 5 for 5 business cards to pass out to customers so they're able to complete their entry.

Have a wonderful cookie season! Comment below and share your goals with us!
