Girl Scout cookie sales to start next week

Girl Scouts of Northern California will kick off their 2023 cookie season March 8.

Consumers can support their local girl entrepreneurs by ordering from the iconic cookie lineup, including the new Raspberry Rally cookie, online at ilovecookies.org. Consumers can also locate booths starting March 20 for in-person cookie sales. The 2023 NorCal cookie season will run through April 23 and all cookie flavors are $6 a box (shipping fees additional). Visit www.ilovecookies.org for more information.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the cookie program are used locally and provide funds for girls’ access to affordable programming, the outdoors, camp and program centers, financial aid, and volunteer support services. In addition, Girl Scouts and their troops depend on these funds to support their community service efforts.

“Girl Scouts’ annual cookie program is beloved by consumers and Girl Scouts alike. As a former cookie seller in this council and mother to a current Brownie, I’m excited to kick off the 2023 cookie season as the new CEO supporting local Girl Scouts to have a successful sale,” said Bri Seoane, CEO of Girl Scouts of Northern California. “Cookie season is the largest fundraising activity of the year and Girl Scouts will be out selling in-person, at booths, and online on their digital cookie pages. We are excited to continue our local partnership with DoorDash, which provides Girl Scouts another channel to learn and experience modern day business and marketing skills.”

This season, GSNorCal is partnering with Bay Area based LaunchDarkly to offer a newly enhanced ilovecookies.org digital online platform. Consumers can find a number of Girl Scout online shops and have their favorite cookies delivered straight to their home, or anywhere in the country, or find the closest Girl Scout booth for in-person cookie sales outside selected businesses in Nor Cal communities.

LaunchDarkly will sponsor a special shipping flat rate of $5 on March 12 to make shipping more accessible that day for GSNorCal customers.

GSNorCal will again partner with Bay Areabased DoorDash to provide no-contact delivery service on selected dates during the 2023 cookie season. Beginning March 20 through April 23, customers can order through the delivery app in participating cities. DoorDash app is available on Apple iTunes or for Android on Google Play.
