Local Girl Scout Council Kicks off 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Program
Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) is kicking off the 2024 Girl Scout Cookie season! This annual sale, where local Girl Scouts unbox their futures as young female entrepreneurs through the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls, remains a favorite for the community.
Girls use their entrepreneurial spirits and learn important life skills,including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics, by participating in the program. All proceeds from the cookie program stay within the local GSCP2P area (which covers 40 counties in western and central North Carolina) and with the troops to power Girl Scouts’ amazing experiences year-round.
This season, cookie lovers can enjoy the full assortment of Girl Scout Cookie favorites, including Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Lemonades, Trefoils, Toast-Yay!, Adventurefuls and (in select quantities) the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip.
Nearly 700 thousand girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program nationally, which provides vital girl-led skills that build courage, confidence and character. When goal-getting Girl Scouts sell a package of cookies, they’re doing much more than what’s seen at face value. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel and summer camp.
Girl Scouts can also earn a variety of badges and awards to develop valuable business skills including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins and Entrepreneur badges.
