Happy Girl Scout Week
On March 12, 1912, our founder Juliette Gordon Low founded Girl Scouts with 18 girls in Savannah, Georgia. Today, Girl Scouts is an iconic Movement in history, with more than 50 million alums including many incredible trailblazers such as astronauts, community leaders, entertainers, entrepreneurs, and more!
Girl Scout Week 2025 is March 9-15! Share your Girl Scout spirit by participating in council-wide themes to make each day special.
Cookie Season News: More Opportunities for Girl Scouts to Earn Rewards
In honor of Girl Scout Week, GSofSI is giving its girl members a bonus week to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. The Cookie Program has officially been extended until Sunday, March 16!
Plus, we have a NEW shipping promo to offer cookie fans! From March 10-16, customers can get $10 off shipping when they order 10 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies through GSofSI Digital Cookie.
That means that your Girl Scout has even more time to go for the goals they have set. Spread the news using Digital Cookie, help her hold a Lemon-Ups stand or a cookie walkabout, or ask your troop leader to see if there are cookie booth opportunities.
We're collaborating with Douglas-Hart Nature Center in Mattoon to kick off the Girl Scout Tree Promise! Our virtual event on April 3 will help prepare Girl Scouts to plant trees in their communities.
