What Can a Cookie Do?

Girl Scout Cookie Program - January 4, 2012 - March 18, 2012


This is How the Cookie Crumbles

All of the proceeds - every penny - from GSHPA's Cookie Program remains in our 30-counties where the cookies are sold. This revenue is used to benefit girls. Some of it directly by remaining in the Girl Scout troop/group treasury and some of it indirectly by subsidizing the cost of providing the Girl Scout program in the local area.

How the cookie crumbles: 23% of proceeds go to troops. 52% goes to Council to support programs, camps and administrative costs. 25% goes to the baker for ingredients, packaging and shipping.

Stay tuned for a bunch of great things Council has planned to make this year one you'll never forget!
