The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led enterprise in the country! The Cookie Program engages girls with five key skills they will use throughout their lives:

1. Goal Setting
2. Decision Making
3. Money Management
4. People Skills
5. Business Ethics

When a Girl Scout sells you cookies, she’s doing more than just handing you a box. She’s creating a plan, interacting with customers and working as part of a team.

She’s building a lifetime of skills and confidence.

The Cookie Program also empowers a girl with the strength, abilities and drive to become an accomplished woman who benefits herself, her family and the world.


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.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps GSHPA

  1. Recruit and train volunteer adults to work with girls.
  2. Provide the financial assistance needed to make Girl Scouting available to all girls.
  3. Improve and maintain camps and other activity sites.
  4. Keep event/camp fees for all members to a minimum.
  5. Sponsor social events and projects.
