GIRL SCOUTS OF NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK KICK OFF 2024 COOKIE SEASON ON FEBRUARY 2nd
ALBANY, N.Y. – On Friday, February 2, thousands of Girl Scouts from the Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York (GSNENY) Council will start their sales for the annual cookie season. All of the favorite flavors – Girl Scout S’mores, Thin Mints (vegan), Samoas, Tagalongs, Dos-si-dos, Trefoils, Lemon-Ups, Toffee-tastic (gluten free) and Adventurefuls – are returning.The Girl Scout Program is the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls. The program encourages Girl Scouts to be risk-takers, think outside the box, and be confident in their own abilities. Whether they are working towards earning their Cookie Goal Setter Badge as a Daisy or their My Cookie Business Resume badge as an Ambassador, Girl Scouts are learning qualities crucial for all forms of leadership and life skills, such as financial literacy, planning, budgeting, teamwork, innovative thinking, and confident decision making.
“We are so excited for the 2024 cookie season to kick off. Cookie Season is a great time when Girl Scouts learn business skills and set entrepreneurial goals for themselves to achieve. We can’t wait to see our Girl Scouts continue to learn and to watch them meet their cookie-selling goals,” said GSNENY CEO Brenda Episcopo.
Cookie season is an exciting annual event for Girl Scouts across the nation. Proceeds from in-person and online cookie orders are kept local to benefit troops’ community service projects.
