Empowering Young Leaders Through Girl Scout Cookies
What makes Girl Scout Cookie Season even sweeter is that all proceeds from cookie sales stay right here in New York City. They fund the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, which empowers young girls to develop essential skills in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and leadership.
Karen Lundgard, Interim CEO of Girl Scouts of Greater New York, emphasizes the significance of this initiative: “Girl Scout Cookie Season is more than just selling cookies—it’s an opportunity for girls from across New York City to develop essential skills.” The creativity and determination displayed by these young entrepreneurs truly embody the spirit of the Girl Scouts.
Supporting Local Troops and Communities
A noteworthy aspect of this year’s cookie sales is the support for Troop 6000, which serves families living in temporary housing and asylum seekers in New York City. This troop has its own digital cookie sale website, as well as in-person booth sales throughout March and April. By purchasing cookies, you’re not only treating yourself but also uplifting communities in need.
Buying Girl Scout cookies is a delicious way to contribute to vital programs that help girls grow into confident leaders. So, as you satisfy your cravings for those delectable treats, remember that you’re also supporting a bright future for the next generation of women leaders.
Why Girl Scout Cookies Are a New York Tradition

As you embark on your quest for those iconic cookies, consider the impact your purchase makes. Whether you’re enjoying them with friends, sharing them at a gathering, or simply savoring them solo, you’re participating in a larger mission to empower girls and strengthen communities.
