The world's largest girl-led entrepreneurial program started in 1917,
when Girl Scouts in Muskogee, Oklahoma, did what Girl Scouts
everywhere always do: they had a great idea, got together, and took
action to make it a reality. The girls of Mistletoe Troop hit on the
clever idea to fund their projects by selling cookies they made at
home in their own kitchens. Other troops took note, and the idea of
Girl Scouts selling cookies took off.
This year more than a million amazing girls will sell hundreds of millions of boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to support their mission of making the world a better place. But there’s more work to be done—and more amazing experiences to be had—and we need everyone’s involvement!
You can help the next generation of girls fulfill their dreams and change the world by finding cookies near you now. With every box of Girl Scout Cookies you buy this year, you help support tomorrow's courage-boosting, confidence-inspiring, character-building, make-the-world-a-better-place experiences.
