Consumers in western Pennsylvania can now support local girl entrepreneurs by ordering from the iconic cookie lineup, fueling girls’ experiences in the outdoors, STEM, and beyond.
Today, Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania kicked off the 2024 Girl Scout Cookie season in western Pennsylvania, the annual event in which Girl Scouts unbox their futures as young female entrepreneurs through the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls.
During this highly anticipated time of the year, girls flex their entrepreneurial muscles and acquire important life skills like money management, team building, public speaking, and decision-making. All proceeds from the cookie program stay local to power Girl Scouts’ amazing experiences year-round.
This year’s theme, Unbox the Future, aims to remove social barriers that often keep girls boxed in. When bold, goal-getting Girl Scouts sell a package of cookies, they’re doing much more than what’s seen at face value. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts, such as service projects, troop travel, and summer camp.
“Every cookie package is a confidence-boosting, skill-honing building block for whatever future a Girl Scout imagines,” said Patricia A. Burkart, CEO of Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania. “From teaching business skills to funding new adventures, the Girl Scout Cookie Program provides girls countless opportunities to expand their world.”
This season, cookie lovers can enjoy the full assortment of Girl Scout Cookies, including Adventurefuls®, Thin Mints®, Samoas®, Tagalongs®, Do-si-dos®, Trefoils®, Lemon-Ups®, Girl Scout S’mores®, and Toffee-tastic®.
