In an ever-changing world, it’s comforting to know that some things stay the same. For one, Girl Scouts love adventure! For another, people love Girl Scout Cookies! The Girl Scout Cookie program is the largest girl-led business in the world that helps Girl Scouts raise funds for future adventures, from camping trips to conducting science experiments to traveling around the world. When people purchase Girl Scout cookies, they support Girl Scouts in gaining leadership and entrepreneurial skills that set them up for a lifetime of success.

Cookie Basics

Where do Girl Scout cookies come from? ABC Bakers, located in South Dakota, is one of two licensed bakeries that produce Girl Scout cookies. Each council chooses which baker to use, which is why you might see other Girl Scout cookie varieties in other parts of the country.

How much do cookies cost? The classic eight varieties cost $5 each. Caramel Chocolate Chip gluten-free cookies cost $6 each. Gluten-free cookies are not pictured on the order card.

How do we order the Caramel Chocolate Chip gluten-free cookies? Selling this cookie is optional and troops were asked to place pre-orders in October 2021. Ask your cookie captain if you have customers requesting this cookie.

How does the cookie crumble? All the proceeds from selling cookies stay right here in southeastern Wisconsin to fund girl programming, properties, trainings, fi nancial assistance, and more.

Rewards

In addition to gaining valuable life and entrepreneurial skills, girls and their troops can earn items and funds to use for their troop expenses and other Girl Scout experiences.

Girls earn rewards based on the number of cookie packages they sell through March 31. Rewards are cumulative, meaning Girl Scouts can choose a reward from EACH level reached. All options are pictured on the insert in the order card.

Program Activity Credits (PACs)

PACs can be used for:

• Girl Scout membership renewal

• Day camp or overnight camp

• Any council-sponsored event or activity

• Resource center purchases

• Destination or council-sponsored trips – girls can start saving now for a future trip! PACs marked for travel will stay in her account.

Proceeds

Troops earn proceeds based on the average number of packages sold per girl. All troops will earn $0.70 per package with the potential to earn up to $1 per package. Girls selling without a troop earn additional Program Activity Credits.

Cookie Share

Cookie Share is a project that allows customers to purchase Girl Scout cookies that are donated to local food pantries, shelters, and the military in southeastern Wisconsin. Customers choose how many cookies they want to donate, but do not choose what type of cookie. These cookies are delivered by the council, so Girl Scouts are not responsible for delivery. Cookie Share cookies will count toward troop and Girl Scout total sales.
