For over 110 years, Girl Scouts have strived to improve the world, committing to assist others at all times. They build the world they desire to inhabit and work hard to improve it daily.  They embrace new challenges, build friendships, and make the world a better place overall. 

Girl Scout Cookie season brings a wave of excitement and joy to communities across the country. These are more than just boxes of cookies though; they represent a tradition of entrepreneurship and leadership. Girl Scout cookies offer something for everyone while supporting a great cause.

The proceeds from cookies reach far beyond individual troops, they support social justice programs like offering scholarships to girls who may not be able to afford it, or programming within prisons for daughters of mothers who have been incarcerated.

With the money the Girl Scouts raise from selling cookies, the troop gets to use that money for charity and a fun group trip. Some of the money this year is going toward the Pima Paws for Life Animal Shelter. The Girl Scouts will also volunteer at the shelter and help with things like walking the dogs, playing with them, and overall improving the dog’s happiness with their Girl Scout spirit. Amelia, a Girl Scout from troop 456 says, “I’m selling cookies to help the community and the cute dogs and cats at the shelters.”

If you’re interested in buying cookies, you could place an online order at this website: Girl Scout Order Card | Girl Scouts. You can also find cookie booths set up in various locations, or you can always reach out to local troops through the Girl Scout website. No matter how you decide to purchase cookies, the Girl Scouts appreciate your love and support. Next time you see a Girl Scout, remember they’re not just selling cookies, they’re making the world a better place.
