Thousands of Badgerland Girl Scouts are preparing for the annual Girl Scout Cookie Program. The sale kicks off Saturday, March 4, 2023, during National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend and lasts only six weeks. In 2023, Badgerland Girl Scouts will be earning updated Financial Literacy badges running their own cookie businesses while learning essential skills like money management, budgeting, goal setting, and communications.
2023 Highlights
Girl Scout Shortbreads are now Trefoils. They taste the same and look the same; but it has a new name and we’re calling it Trefoils which is the Girl Scout logo!
Raspberry Rally cookies are new this year, but so popular they may be sold out. Here’s a fun twist: you can only buy them online through her online store. However, these cookies are so popular and the quantities limited that customers may not have access to them depending on availability when they try to order. Even if they are sold out it’s important to note that Girl Scouts are gaining e-commerce entrepreneurial experiences by setting up her digital store where she can sell all the cookie flavors.
Badgerland Girl Scout Cookies are $5, except Gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies which are $6.
Cookie proceeds stay local benefitting Badgerland Girl Scouts. One hundred percent of the net profit from each box stays local. While troops choose how to invest their earnings in things like service projects and camp outings, Badgerland Council uses cookie earnings to provide impactful, experiences for all Girl Scouts.
How to Buy Girl Scout Cookies
Local Girl Scouts will be selling cookies March 4-April 9. Expect to see Girl Scouts at cookie booths around the community. If you know a Girl Scout, ask how she’s selling cookies via her online store!
What if you don’t know a Girl Scout and don’t see one out and about? Cookie customers can enter their zip code at https://www.gsbadgerland.org to purchase cookies online from a local troop for direct shipment.
With every purchase, cookie customers are empowering girls in their community to build confidence and create positive change.
“When you support Girl Scouts, you’re getting so much more than a box of cookies,” said Badgerland CEO Marci Henderson. “The day of the transaction, you’re helping her gain confidence and practice valuable business skills. Later, your generosity circles back when that Girl Scout uses her cookie earnings to complete a community service project, experience an overnight camp, or take a trip of a lifetime.”
For more than 100 years, the Girl Scout Cookie Program gives girls a taste of being entrepreneurs and learning important skills that set them up for success in life.
