The Girl Scout Cookie Program returns to northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan beginning Friday, January 22, 2016. This year’s Girl Scout Cookie Program will run through April 3 with door-to-door sales in January and February, and troops hosting cookie booths with product on hand beginning March 5.
The Cookie Program remains the premiere fundraiser for the 104 year old organization. When girls participate they develop essential business skills such as decision making, goal setting, money management, business ethics and people skills. All profits from the Cookie Program stay local; the girls receive a percentage based on how much they’ve sold, and the remainder goes to the local Girl Scout Council, which helps fund Girl Scout programming and services.
All of the favorites are returning this year including the gluten free Trio introduced last year during the cookie booth portion of the sale. Those not in touch with a Girl Scout may contact the Cookie Hotline at 800.246.4171 or visit www.girlscoutcookies.org to find cookies near you.
