Troop 602 Newport/Middletown

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – Girl Scout cookie season has arrived!

From February 16-18, 2024, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England will sell their famous cookies at booths around the region.

This year’s theme is “Unbox the Future,” which aims to remove social barriers that often keep girls boxed in. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls, providing them with life-changing experiences year-round. Through these experiences, girls learn valuable skills such as goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

The Girl Scout Cookie Finder is a tool that can help consumers find cookie booths near them and order cookies for direct shipment to their homes. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with the local Girl Scout council and troop to fund programs such as summer camps, field trips, and community service projects.

This is a great way to support local Girl Scouts while getting your hands on some delicious treats. It’s a win-win for both the Girl Scouts and their customers.

If you need more information on how to order or find cookie booths near you, please visit the Girl Scout Cookie Finder website.
