Cookies for a Cause toggle arrow

Girl Scouts have a long tradition of making the world a better place and knowing the importance of community service and the value of giving back! During the Cookie Program this can be achieved by participating in Cookies for a Cause.

Cookies for a Cause encourages girls to ask customers/businesses to donate as little as $6 so cookies can find their way to military organizations, first responders, Healthcare workers, and food pantries through GSCI.

What a sweet deal! Encourage customers to buy one box of cookies for themselves and another to give - through the Cookies for a Cause program. Amp up your Cookies for a Cause contributions by using this box wrap.

GSCI facilitates the delivery of cookies purchased through the Cookies for a Cause program with organizations such Stout field National Guard Amory, VA Hospitals, military outreach clinics, Salvation Army, Gleaners, First Responders Day at Dellwood, and many other organizations throughout the council.

All Cookies for a Cause donations count towards girl rewards and troop proceeds.

When choosing girls to participate we look for girls that:
- Are top sellers for Cookies for a Cause and/or have earned the gift of caring patch.
- Are comfortable talking to strangers and sometimes reporters about their Girl Scout Cookie program experiences and techniques.
- Have a Girl Scout uniform.
- Have parents or leaders that can transport them to the event on time and stay at the site through the event (please note that some events are during the weekdays).
