Cookie Frequently Asked Questions

Who can sell Girl Scout Cookies?

All registered girl members of Girl Scouts may participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Although parents and Girl Scout adults may assist, girls make the sale, set learning and sales goals, learn to think like entrepreneurs, and gain five essential skills that are part of the program.

Participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program is voluntary and requires written permission from a parent or guardian. The experience helps girls learn essential life skills while powering amazing troop experiences for girls year-round.

How does the Girl Scout cookie sale benefit my daughter?

When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you power amazing adventures and life-changing opportunities for girls. The more cookies you buy, the more you help EVERY GIRL build entrepreneurial skills and take the lead, both now and in the future. It’s about the experience of running her very own cookie business, working with others—and building a lifetime of confidence as she learns the five skills (goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics) essential to leadership, success, and life.

How much are the cookies?

Cookies will be $5 per package for standard varieties and $6 for specialty (Toffee-Tastic and S’Mores).

When can we start selling?

GSEWNI’s 2025 Girl Scout Cookie Program begins on February 7th. Each Girl Scout Council sets its start date for the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Girls may not distribute, take orders, or post their Digital Cookie link until GSEWNIs start date – February 7th, 2025.

What is a booth sale?

A booth sale is a public sale that a troop hosts in front of a business. All booth sales must be prearranged between the troop leader and the business location in advance, and approved by the GSEWNI Product Program Team. GSEWNI also secures booth locations with local and corporate chains for troops to sign up for.

Can Girl Scouts sell cookies online?

Girls, along with a parent or caregiver, may market and sell cookies online to family, friends, and the public through the Digital Cookie platform, providing they review the Girl Scout Internet Safety Pledge and follow all Girl Scout safety guidelines.

What is Digital Cookie?

Digital Cookie is a way for Girl Scouts to add an online option to their Girl Scout Cookie Program experiences. Digital Cookie is managed and coordinated by GSUSA, with the majority of its 112 councils participating.

Can a Girl Scout’s Digital Cookie link be posted to an online resale site?

No. Sales links should never be posted to online resale sites (eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Free or For Sale Facebook pages, etc.).

Can a parent/caregiver take order cards to work or to any social groups they are part of?

Yes! But you must let your Girl Scout lead by having her present her sales pitch, create a poster or video, and write thank you notes, etc.
