Hey, Girl Scouts. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, you'll learn valuable sales and business skills while raising funds to support your troop's activities. Your customers can order from you via your online shop or in-person, and have their order delivered or shipped directly to them. 

Every purchase from our annual Girl Scout Cookie Program helps you earn some of the funding needed to participate in unique and amazing experiences while learning five essential life skills: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills, and Business Ethics. 

Resources for Girls & Families

Girl Scouts, you can safely participate in the Cookie Program by creating your own Digital Cookie online shop and using social media and the mobile app to sell cookies. Let's get started! 

Getting Started toggle arrow
Let's get started! 

Setting goals is a great way to get started in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Your goals may be to earn enough money for a Take Action project or a fun trip, to sell more than you did last year, or to earn your favorite recognition items. Setting goals is a great activity to do as a troop, too. 

Customers want to know about your goals and help you reach them, so be sure to tell your customers why your troop is raising funds. Your Goal Sheet can be found on your Rewards Card.

What's next?

Parents/Guardians: Be sure to sign the Parent Permission Form to allow permission for your Girl Scout to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. 

Girl Scouts, look for your Digital Cookie registration email the first week of January and use the link provided in the email to set up your Digital Cookie Online Shop. Once you've created your account for the new season, you can start sending emails to your customers and return to the Digital Cookie site as needed. 

There are so many fun ways that families can get involved in the Girl Scout Cookie Season. Find resources such as activity guides, games, helpful tips, the Climb with Courage Toolkit, virtual computer backgrounds, door hangers, and more in the Girl, Family, and Volunteer sections of the Little Brownie Bakers website and Girl Scouts website.

Meet Our Mascot toggle arrow

This year's theme is Brave. Fierce. Fun. and your new BFF is going to be this little critter...

Meet our 2026 Girl Scout Cookie Program Mascot, the Black-footed Ferret! Her name is Shirley.

Here are some fun facts about black-footed ferrets:

  • DENS: Black-footed ferrets live in prairie dog dens in the American grasslands and prairies.
  • PLAYFUL: Black-footed ferrets are flexible, love to wrestle and play chase. They are also excellent climbers.
  • NOCTURNAL: Black-footed ferrets are nocturnal, which means they are most active at night. They use their strong sense of smell to locate food and friends.
  • ENDANGERED: The black-footed ferret is one of North America's most endangered animals, meaning there are not many of them in the wild. It's a good thing they are so brave.
  • COMMUNICATION: Black-footed ferrets are known for their squeaks, hisses and chatter. They also use dance to communicate.
  • BUSINESS: A group of ferrets is called a business.
