NEW YORK (Feb. 15, 2024)—GSUSA invites communities across the nation to celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend, February 16–18, during which consumers nationwide can purchase cookies in person from Girl Scouts at any local booth as well as order cookies for direct shipment to their front door using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder. As always, all Girl Scout Cookie® proceeds stay local with councils and troops to power life-changing experiences year-round for Girl Scouts.
The 2024 cookie season theme, Unbox the Future, highlights how the Girl Scout Cookie Program® helps remove social barriers that often keep girls boxed in. Girl Scouts build courage, confidence and character through invaluable girl-led experiences by participating in the world's largest entrepreneurial program for girls. As a result, Girl Scouts kickstart their limitless, barrier-breaking futures ‘outside the box’ by learning transferable life skills including goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend marks a time when America's favorite cookies are widely available across the United States with each purchase supporting local Girl Scouts. Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program® helps Girl Scouts fund invaluable experiences like attending Girl Scout summer camp, going on fun field trips, and spearheading meaningful community service projects. As consumers open their favorite package of Girl Scout Cookies, they are supporting girls as they unbox their individual futures in their communities. They explore their leadership potential as they build lifelong friendships, making the world around them a better place.
“National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is a highlight of cookie season,” said GSUSA Chief Revenue Officer Wendy Lou. “Consumers have the opportunity to invest in ambitious girl entrepreneurs through cookie sales both in person and online. In doing so, earnings generated from the Girl Scout Cookie Program empower local Girl Scouts to embark on new adventures and experiences.”
