Mystery House 2025 – Weekly Clues

It might seem now that the clues are too few, but as the season progresses, we’ll reveal more to you! Keep visiting customers door-to-door, a Mystery House you might find, earn a patch if you are the first and a certificate that is signed!

Starting February 28, visit this page on Fridays for more clues!

View the clues!

The last week to visit Mystery Houses is here! Girl Scouts can review 3 weeks of clues to find a Mystery House in their Service Unit. The last day to visit Mystery House is the last day customers can order Girl Scout Cookies on March 16, 2025.

Good luck Girl Scouts!

Mystery House is coming!

There is at least ONE secret Mystery House in nearly every Service Unit. Each Girl Scout to stop by a Mystery House location and/or leave a cookie door hanger will receive a certificate and a special patch!

Here’s how it works:

  • First, make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram @girlscoutsoc for clues
  • There are several Mystery House locations throughout Orange County.
  • Each Girl Scout to leave a door hanger or visit a Mystery House in person location will receive a certificate and patch!
  • Girls should leave a door hanger with the girl’s first name, Troop # and contact information for an adult leader or parent/guardian.
  • Hosts will provide GSOC with the information for each Girl Scout who has left a door hanger or visited in person. GSOC will mail the patch & certificate directly to each Girl Scout.
  • Girls should not ask customers if they are a Mystery House. Girls must follow all Girl Scout safety rules and should not enter homes.

Come back tomorrow to see Clue #1!!

Spread the love with Care to Share

Want to make a BIG impact with your cookie sales?
Use the Care to Share Bundle Flyer and Care to Share Donation Tracker to encourage customers to donate cookies to Cookie Share!

Every donation helps bring a smile to someone in our community, and it’s a great way to reach your cookie goals. New for this year, in addition to the U.S. Military and local food banks, we will be distributing cookie share to firefighters and first responders who helped with the recent wildfire efforts in Los Angeles. Simply post the flyer at your booth sale and keep track of donations with the donation tracker by filling in 1 segment for each dollar collected.

Don’t forget to let your Troop Cookie Coordinator know how many packages you have sold so they can allocate the virtual cookie share in ABC Smart Cookies.

Let’s work together to share the love—one box of cookies at a time! 🍪💚

The Cookie Program is coming!

The 2024 Cookie Program is approaching fast!  Here you will find important details and quick links to get you started for the upcoming cookie season.   

We’re excited to kick off a brand-new segment of our Cookie News: “Ask a Cookie Boss”, where Girl Scouts share their best tips for Cookie Program success! This exciting feature will spotlight advice, tips, and tricks straight from Girl Scouts who have mastered the art of cookie entrepreneurship. Each week, these Cookie Bosses will share their best strategies to help inspire and support fellow Girl Scouts on their journey to reach their goals. 

Want to be featured in an upcoming week? Share your advice with us! 

Ask a Cookie Boss 
This week, Junior from Troop 9547 Alexis K. suggests: 

Make a video to share with your customers! It’s a great way to show them what you’re doing in Girl Scouts. Here’s a hint—send a thank-you video to your Fall Product customers or last year’s cookie customers to thank them for their support. This reminds them that you’re a Girl Scout and helps them think of you when it’s time to sell cookies! 

See Alexis’ thank you video to her customers here and help your Cookie Boss submit their own advice. Stay tuned for more advice from our Cookie Bosses! 

*Holiday Council Closure Girl Scouts of Orange County’s offices and Shop will be closed for the holidays from December 19th – January 5th. See your Plan Book for guidance during the holiday break. Happy Holidays!
