Cookie Program 101
-
When you sell Girl Scout Cookies, you're doing more than just helping your customers stock up on delicious treats (and having lots of fun). You're doing it with a goal in mind. Whether that goal is a pizza party, a community service project, or your first overnight camping trip with your troop, you know how many packages you need to sell to make it happen.
But did you know that you're also part of a huge business, one that's run by girls just like you all over the country? In fact, you’re part of the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program for girls In the world. Being a Girl Scout Cookie professional gives you skills essential for success both now and later:
Goal Setting
Decision Making
Money Management
People Skills
Business Ethics
Need some help getting started? Check out all the amazing resources on this page that will make it easy to sell more packages of cookies this year than you ever thought possible!

We Need Cookie Cupboard Volunteers! Register Now Open!
Have fun, get exercise, and make friends while helping pull orders for troops. Volunteers include parents, husbands, friends, aunts, uncles, and anyone over the age of 18 who would like to support Girl Scouts. The more volunteers, the shorter wait in line for leaders and a more successful experience for everyone. Anyone who volunteers for four hours will get a special cookie cupboard patch to add to their collection!
From Feb. 2 - Mar. 13, 2022, we have opportunities in Arcadia, Canoga Park, Covina, Glendale, Inglewood, Long Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Clarita, Upland. (Volunteers must be able to lift at least 10 lbs.)
The health and safety of our volunteers and staff is top of mind, and we will practice safety protocols and guidelines as recommended by the state of California and Los Angeles County.
