Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains Kicks Off 2023 Girl Scout Cookie Season in Amarillo, TX
Amarillo, TX—Friday, Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains kicks off the 2023 Girl Scout Cookie season in Amarillo, as Girl Scouts and their troops rally their communities to support the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls. New to the 2023 cookie season, the highly anticipated online exclusive Raspberry Rally™ cookie joins the iconic lineup, alongside classic family favorites like Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties®, and more.
Consumers can support their local Girl Scout troops by purchasing their favorite varieties and trying the new, online exclusive Raspberry Rally™, a thin, crispy cookie infused with raspberry flavor and dipped in the same delicious chocolaty coating as the beloved Thin Mints® cookies. This must-try new cookie will be the first in the Girl Scout Cookie lineup to be exclusively offered for online sale and direct shipment only, enhancing girls’ e-commerce sales and entrepreneurial skills.
If you know a Girl Scout, ask how she is selling cookies via the Smart Cookie® online platform for direct shipment or local delivery. Now through February 19, enjoy $7.50 off shipping on orders of nine or more boxes of cookies. Beginning February 17, customers can enter their zip code to purchase cookies online from a local troop for direct shipment or donation to local causes through the Cookies for Heroes program. Customers can also visit the cookie finder at girlscoutcookies.org to locate a local booth to purchase cookies.
Becky Burton, CEO of Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains, says the cookie program is one of the most memorable times of year for local Girl Scouts. “Girl Scouts gain new experiences through the Cookie Program – not only in learning how to run a business, but in their own ability to hit individual goals they set to utilize cookie proceeds to attend Girl Scout summer camps and travel trips. The effort of Girl Scouts of all ages, whether five-year-old Daisies or 17-year-old Ambassadors, builds their confidence in their own abilities and is always a joy to watch as their faith in themselves grows. I’ve never met a Girl Scout that doesn’t have memories of the cookie program.”
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls. Girl Scouts’ newly updated Financial Literacy badges offer entrepreneurial playbooks for every age level. From the Cookie Goal Setter badge earned as a Daisy to the Entrepreneur Accelerator for girls in high school, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls financial literacy, planning, budgeting, teamwork, innovative thinking, and confident decision making. New this year, Raspberry Rally is exclusively offered through digital channels for direct shipment only, enhancing girls’ e-commerce
