The Girl Scout Cookie Program

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for young people. Girl Scouts’ Financial Literacy badges offer entrepreneurial playbooks for every age level. From the Cookie Goal Setter badge earned as a Daisy (grades K–1) to the Entrepreneur Accelerator for girls in high school, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches Girl Scouts financial literacy, planning, budgeting, teamwork, innovative thinking, and confident decision making.

During Girl Scout Cookie season, each entrepreneur sets out to sell delicious cookies while also building entrepreneurial and business skills imperative for leadership and future success. All net revenues raised—100 percent of it—stays within the northern Illinois area. Every package of cookies sold provides valuable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel, and summer camp for girls across the country!
