The 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season is coming soon! 🍪🍪🍪
Girl Scout Cookies are more than delicious treats. They're entrepreneurial building blocks for Girl Scouts to create a more equitable future for themselves and the world.
The proceeds from each purchase stay local and fund their ambitions and exploration, like STEAM badges, camp experiences, travel, and community service projects. But it doesn't stop there—cookies open a world of possibilities anywhere from the White House to the moon!
