It's Girl Scout Cookie season! Girl Scout cookies aren't just yummy. They're supporting girls learning life skills and encouraging female empowerment, so grab a glass of milk and get ready to find out more about your Samoas.
Girl Scout troops in Oklahoma circa 1917 started shilling homemade treats to raise funds. In 1934, the organization adopted a scout sales program that became vastly successful and the rest is history. Their emerald boxes became symbols of girl-powered chutzpah across the land.
Girl Scout Cookies offer a wide choice of flavors to satisfy your dairy-dunking desires. Here are some of the classics you can find on their site!
New flavors like Adventurefuls (brownie-ish cookies with caramel), Toast-Yay! (cinnamon toast-flavored treats), and Lemonades (shortbread with icy lemon frosting) were recently launched. We'll be having a box of each, please.
Many troops set up booths in places like schools, churches, community centers, or even in front of Scout's homes. Their website has a "Find Cookies" tool that helps you locate buying options in your zip code.
Every box of cookies you purchase pays to help girls develop superpowers like goal-setting, decision making, and financial literacy. Your purchase is contributing to making a difference in young people's lives.
