A small amount goes to the individual troop, a good portion of it goes to run the local and national organizations, run and maintain the campgrounds and classes they offer, provide scholarships to summer camp etc for girls who can’t afford it, and of course for the cookies themselves.

If you don’t want to buy the cookies but want to support their activities you can also just drop them $5 or whatever at their booths.

It's that time of year!!!!

I agree. My DD is in her fifth year of Girl Scouts. She loves seeing the other girls in her troop, they do fun activities, they’ve learned and grown so much together. The girls are all really disappointed about not having cookie booths this year, but they also love the digital platform. Thank you to everyone who supports this organization.
