girl scout Cookie® program : for parents
Parents, thank-you so much for your support of Girl Scouts and the GS Cookie(R) Program. Much more than a way to raise money, the Cookie program is a hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial program that helps equip girls with the experience and financial literacy tools that she will take with her into high school, college and beyond.
One great way to help your daughter and her Troop is to volunteer as a Troop or Association Cookie Volunteer. Please visit our Volunteer page to get started.
Funding Your Fun
Did you know that you now have the option for individual accounting of your daughter's Cookie rebate money?

Cookie Credits $$
Cookie Credits are a great way to help pay for GS Summer Camp, GS Troop trips, activities and events listed in Possibilities, GS membership registration and much, much more. By selling 300 boxes of GS Cookies your daughter earns $75 in Cookie Credits. If you have 2 daughters in Girl Scouts, they can combine their sales to meet the 300 box goal.
Successful Women Entrepreneurs Credit Girl Scout Cookie Program
Did you know that most successful female entrepreneurs got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies? The Girl Scout Cookie Program offers limitless possibilities for learning how to run a business. Even if your daughter doesn't think that she wants to be a business owner, she will still get valuable experience in dealing with people, setting a goal and figuring out how to achieve it, managing inventory and scheduling deliveries.
