Getting Started

The Cookie Program is a fun and easy way for Girl Scouts to earn and learn!

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is an important (and fun!) part of the overall Girl Scout experience teaching Girl Scouts five essential skills: goal setting, money management, people skills, decision making and business ethics. Every Girl Scout is encouraged to participate in the Cookie Program, even if they are not affiliated with a troop.

3 easy steps to get started in the Cookie Program

Make sure your Girl Scout is registered for the 2024-2025 Girl Scout Membership year.

Registered Girl Scouts participating in the Cookie Program will receive a Girl Scout Cookie packet with information on the 2025 Cookie Program, important dates, Girl Scout rewards and so much more!
