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

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.
