Cookie Volunteers

January 4–March 12

With your help, girls can make their dreams come true with Girl Scout Cookies. They’ll learn five skills (goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, business ethics) for life while having a lot of fun along the way. This page will have everything you need to make your Cookie Season quick, easy, and fulfilling.
