Samoas, Tagalongs, and Do-si-dos are here! Girl Scout Cookie Program Kicks Off Today!

GIRL SCOUTS OF NORTHEAST TEXAS (GSNETX) and GIRL SCOUTS OF TEXAS OKLAHOMA PLAINS (GS-TOP) are excited to kick off the 2019 Cookie Program, the world's largest girl-led entrepreneurship program, on January 11.

For more than 100 years, the Girl Scout Cookie Program has been teaching girls entrepreneurship, business and leadership skills and is now the largest financial investment in girls annually in the United States.

"Girl Scout Cookies are more than just delicious. Cookie sales fuel programming for our local Girl Scouts that they can't get anywhere else," said GSNETX CEO Jennifer Bartkowski. "Each box of cookies you purchase helps local Girl Scouts experience the outdoors, participate in STEM activities, learn about a different culture through travel, or improve her community."

"The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a powerful entrepreneurship incubator for the next generation of female leaders," said Becky Burton, CEO of GS-TOP. "Girls learn the skills they will need to be tomorrow's business leaders and entrepreneurs - skills like goal-setting, decision-making, and people skills." 

GSNETX and GS-TOP partner with different national bakeries, meaning cookies sold by Girl Scouts from Irving to the Louisianaborder (GSNETX) differ slightly from those sold west of Fort Worthand up the Texas/Oklahoma panhandle (GS-TOP). This year, a new gluten-free offering, the Caramel Chocolate Chip will be sold by GS-TOP Girl Scouts. The Caramel Chocolate Chip features rich caramel, semisweet chocolate chips, and a hint of sea salt and is similar to GSNETX's gluten-free Toffee-tastic®, which will return and continue to be sold in Northeast Texas. Prices for cookies vary by type and range from $4-$5 a box. 

For a full list of cookies sold by each council and to find Girl Scout sellers in their area, customers can download the Cookie Finder app, available for Apple and Android devices, or visit www.girlscoutcookies.org.

Tagalongs, Samoas, and Trefoils -- oh my!

Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas (GSNETX) launched its annual Cookie Program on January 10, 2014. New this year, Girl Scouts will have cookies in hand, allowing them to sell, deliver and collect money in one easy step; to the delight of cookie fans across northeast Texas. Each box of cookies sells for $4.  The GSNETX Cookie Program will run through Feb. 17.

Also new this year -- Cookie Locator app!

To find a booth near you, download the Cookie Locator app for iPhone or Android by searching GS COOKIES in the app store. You can then search for cookie sales by zip code and share with friends on social media.  So easy!

Not sure which flavor to buy? The app can help with that too! Fill out the fun "What's your cookie personality?" quiz to reveal the cookie that best fits YOU.  Cookie flavors include the world-famous Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas, Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, Dulce de Leche, Thank U Berry Munch, and Savannah Smiles.

In 2013, GSNETX sold 3.6 million boxes of cookies. The GSNETX Cookie Program supports local Girl Scouts and 100 percent of proceeds raised stay in northeast Texas.

Selling cookies is more than a tradition; the Girl Scout Cookie Program is an integral part of Girl Scouts’ business and economic literacy initiative for girls in kindergarten through 12th grade. The program helps Girl Scouts develop five key skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. Girl Scouts also have the opportunity to earn the new Mary Kay Entrepreneurship patch, designed to inspire the next generation of female leaders through the Cookie Program.   

All girls who participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program are eligible to earn the annual Cookie Activity Pin (shown below). When they earn the pin, invite girls to share their accomplishments in each of the 5 Skills. Here’s how girls achieve the 5 Skills through the Girl Scout Cookie Program: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.
