Cookie booths will begin on Friday, February 26 throughout southeast Wisconsin and will run through March 27. Girl Scouts will directly sell cookies which means you won’t have to wait to enjoy those tasty Thin Mints or Caramel deLites. You can buy them and take them home right away!

National Girl Scout Cookie weekend, which runs from February 26 to 28, celebrates the essential “5 Skills” each Cookie Boss learns through the cookie program: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—setting them up for success beyond anything they can imagine. And the more cookies girls sell, the more money they have to invest in community service projects and learning experiences, like travel opportunities.

This year’s sale features eight cookie varieties at $4.00 per package. All proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program remain in Southeast Wisconsin, funding important community projects at the local level.
