Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa Kicks Off 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Season
Consumers in Greater Iowa can now support local girl entrepreneurs by ordering from the iconic cookie lineup, earning funds that fuel amazing experiences in outdoors, STEM, and beyond.
IOWA – The Girl Scout Cookie Program® kicks off in Greater Iowa on February 1, an annual event in which Girl Scouts unbox their futures as young business leaders 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 goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. All proceeds from cookie sales stay 100% 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. Girl Scouts are entrepreneurial powerhouses creating a more equitable future for themselves and the world. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel, and summer camp.
This season, cookie lovers can enjoy the full assortment of Girl Scout Cookies, including fan favorites such as Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties®, and more.
“When you buy delicious Girl Scout Cookies, you are helping girls not only discover their inner leadership potential but also use their earnings to power amazing experiences for themselves and their troop,” said Beth Shelton, CEO of Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. “Many Girl Scouts put the money toward impactful community projects right in their own backyards, from supporting animal shelters and food banks to working with local and state legislators to change laws.”
Cookie Varieties: Adventurefuls®, Caramel Chocolate Chip, Caramel deLites®, Lemonades®, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Thin Mints®, Toast-Yay!®, and Trefoils®.
Price: $6 per package
When: February 1 – March 24, 2024. Customers can place orders starting on February 1, and booth sales begin on February 9.
