Girl Scout Cookie Season Begins with New Cookie
World’s largest girl-led entrepreneurial program has two sweet new ways to celebrate young female leaders.
Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama (GSNCA) launch the 2020 Girl Scout Cookie™ season when Girl Scouts across the United States become entrepreneurs as they earn money to power their own leadership opportunities and adventures. This season, GSNCA announces a sweet new way to celebrate young female leaders: a new lemon cookie called Lemon-Ups!
The Girl Scout Cookie Program® teaches girls about entrepreneurship as they have fun learning essential skills like money management, public speaking, and decision making, which set them up for a lifetime of success. Nine in ten Girl Scouts say the cookie program has built their entrepreneurship skills and their interest in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career path—so every cookie purchase is an investment in the world-changing business leaders of tomorrow. What’s more, every purchase stays local to power amazing experiences and leadership opportunities for girls in communities across the United States.
Girl Scouts take part in a diverse range of experiences available to members—from adventure-packed camping and canoeing to exploring space science and designing robots, to taking action to improve their communities. Every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies makes experiences like these possible for girls in your local community.
The new Girl Scout Cookie is Lemon-Ups™, a crispy lemon cookie baked with messages inspired by Girl Scout entrepreneurs. “I am a go-getter” and “I am an innovator” are among the eight phrases that bring the experience of Girl Scouting to life. The new cookie joins the national 2020 lineup, which also includes favorites such as Thin Mints®, Samoas®, and Trefoils®. Lemon-Ups are available in select council markets, including the 36 counties that GSNCA serves.
“Girl Scout Cookies are a sweet treat for customers, but represent so much more to the girls who benefit from the Girl Scout Cookie Program,” said Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama CEO Karen Peterlin. “As Girl Scouts run their own cookie business, they learn important business and financial literacy skills, which help them become leaders and prepare them for success in the future. When you purchase a box of Girl Scout Cookies, you are supporting local female entrepreneurs.”
Girl Scout Cookies can only be purchased from a registered Girl Scout.
