It's that time of year...Girl Scout cookie season!

If you decided to take the plunge and sell cookies with your troop, here are some blog posts from the past to help you get your bearings.

One thing that girls love is to receive recognition for their accomplishments (and come to think of it, don't we all love to be recognized for a job well done?)

The Financial Literacy Badges Girl Scouts Are Loving (And Parents Too.)

 

What if learning about money felt less like homework… and more like planning your dream future?


Across the country, Girl Scouts are turning financial literacy into something hands-on, confidence-building, and FUN. From creating budgets and comparing prices to exploring careers, entrepreneurship, and long-term financial goals, girls of all ages are building real-world money skills one badge at a time.


Made possible through support from Charles Schwab, Girl Scouts’ Financial Literacy Badges are helping girls explore everything from earning and saving to investing and goal setting in ways that feel empowering, age-appropriate, and exciting.


Here’s how a few councils are bringing these badges to life:

Girl Scouts of Central Texas hosted Badge University, where Girl Scouts from Brownies through Ambassadors explored entrepreneurship, leadership, life skills, and financial literacy through hands-on badge sessions. 



Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri gave Brownies the chance to practice spending, saving, and sharing by creating their own budgets through an interactive virtual program. Older Girl Scouts in Eastern Missouri also explored what it really takes to finance “real life” through activities focused on financial independence and everyday money decisions. 


Meanwhile, Juniors in Eastern Missouri put their budgeting skills to the test by planning a meal, shopping for ingredients, and cooking a dish themselves.



Girl Scouts of North East Ohio hosted hands-on Financial Literacy badge events and afterschool programs where girls explored entrepreneurship, budgeting, and financial goal setting through interactive activities and badge earning opportunities.



And that’s what makes these badges so impactful. Financial literacy isn’t being taught through long lectures or complicated worksheets. Girl Scouts are learning by doing, experimenting, problem-solving, and building confidence along the way.


In a time when financial literacy is more important than ever, these experiences are helping girls feel prepared for whatever future they dream up for themselves.

An Important Update for Our Members and Supporters


For over 100 years, Girl Scouts of the USA has been dedicated to building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. An important part of this mission is the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program, which is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. The cookie program teaches valuable life skills like goal setting, decision making, people skills, money management, and business ethics ensuring that girls can become leaders in their communities.

The health and safety of Girl Scouts and cookie customers is our top priority. Rest assured: Girl Scout Cookies are safe to consume.

A recent report claimed that our Girl Scout Cookies contain certain levels of glyphosate and heavy metals. We want to address these allegations and share the facts:

Girl Scout Cookies are made with ingredients that adhere to food safety standards set by the FDA and other relevant authorities.
  • Our trusted bakers remain committed to compliance with all food safety standards and regulations set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other relevant health authorities.
  • These standards ensure that food products are safe for consumption.
  • As a result, Girl Scout Cookies are safe to consume and are manufactured in accordance with all food safety regulations.
To further put the coverage in proper context:
  • Environmental contaminants—which can include heavy metals— can occur naturally in soil. This means that nearly all foods using plant-based ingredients, including organic foods, may contain trace amounts. This does not mean that these foods are harmful to consume.
  • Glyphosate is widely used in agriculture in accordance with established EPA standards and is found nearly everywhere in the food chain. Trace amounts of glyphosate can be found in fresh fruits, vegetables, cereals, baked goods, and other food and beverage commodities.
  • Similarly, small amounts of heavy metals can be found naturally in the environment, including in food products, due to air, water, and soil exposure.
  • These metals are not added to our Girl Scout Cookies.
  • While such occurrences are not unique to Girl Scout Cookies, our trusted baking partners continue to ensure the integrity of our recipes and the safety of all Girl Scout Cookie products in accordance with federal regulations and Global Food Safety initiative standards.
  • Our bakers have confirmed that the levels reported do not pose a food safety concern to our customers.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is about more than a sweet treat. It teaches Girl Scouts to think critically, build confidence, and use the skills of entrepreneurship, leadership, and business ethics in the real world. And remember: every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies powers life-changing experiences for Girl Scouts right in your local community. Visit girlscoutcookies.org to support a troop in your area.
