Need a Thin Mint fix? Girl Scout Cookie sales start January 22

It's Girl Scout Cookie time!

“Cookie Bosses” (aka Girl Scouts) from Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast are poised to begin taking orders for your favorite Girl Scout Cookies on Friday, January 22.

In addition to the traditional selling methods, Girl Scouts will again this year be selling cookies using the Digital Cookie Program, an enhancement to the traditional Cookie Program which allows girls to either take orders on their mobile phone through a mobile app and then deliver them personally or send emails to potential customers directing them to a website where they can place their order and have it shipped to their home or business. Cookie buyers will always still need to buy cookies through a Girl Scout.

When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they develop important life skills—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—that will set them up for success beyond anything they can imagine. When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you make adventures possible with every box.
