Girl Scouts of Western New York and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) have officially launched the 2020 Girl Scout Cookie™ season, when Girl Scouts across the United States become entrepreneurs as they earn money to power their own leadership opportunities and adventures. This season, Girl Scouts offer refreshed packaging to reflect the experiences cookie earnings make possible for girls.
Girl Scout Cookie lovers across Western New York are able to purchase their favorite cookies from a girl for $5 per box via: order taking through February 8, at cookie booths from March 1 to 29, and online with direct shipping throughout the sale until March 29. For information, visit gswny.org.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program® teaches girls about entrepreneurship as they have fun learning essential skills like money management, public speaking, and decision making, which set them up for a lifetime of success. Nine in ten Girl Scouts say the cookie program has built their entrepreneurship skills and their interest in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career path – so every cookie purchase is an investment in the business leaders of tomorrow. What’s more, each and every purchase stays local to power experiences and leadership opportunities for girls in communities across the United States.
Refreshed cookie packaging (with the same great taste) continues to emphasize what the cookie program is all about, and the updated images feature current Girl Scouts taking part in a diverse range of experiences available to members – from adventure-packed camping and canoeing, to exploring space science and designing robots, to taking action to improve their communities. Every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies makes experiences like these possible for girls in your local community.
Girl Scouts at the troop level determine how they want to use the money that they raise and may also elect to use their portion of cookie earnings on Girl Scout Camp programs, travel, and community service. Other than the cost of cookies, all of the proceeds stay in Western New York supporting Girl Scout programs that help girls develop important leadership skills.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program® runs until March 29, 2020. To learn more about supporting a girl with a purchase, girl membership, and adult volunteerism, visit gswny.org or call 1-888-837-6410.
