Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc. (GSHH) kicked off the 2024 Girl Scout Cookie season across the Hudson Valley, the annual event in which Girl Scouts unbox their futures as young female entrepreneurs through the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls.
During this highly-anticipated time of the year, girls flex their entrepreneurial muscles and acquire important life skills like money management, team building, public speaking and decision making. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with local councils and troops to power Girl Scouts’ amazing experiences year-round.
This year’s theme, Unbox the Future, aims to remove social barriers that often keep girls boxed in. When bold, goal-getting Girl Scouts sell a package of cookies, they’re doing much more than what’s seen at face value. Girl Scouts do more than sell delicious treats—they’re entrepreneurial powerhouses creating a more equitable future for themselves and the world. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel and summer camp.
This season, cookie lovers can enjoy the full assortment of Girl Scout Cookies, including fan favorites such as Thin Mints®, Samoas®, Do-si-dos ® and more.
GSHH’s Interim CEO, Helen Wronski said, “We are thrilled to kick off Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson’s 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Season. Girl Scout Cookies will be available for girl delivery, online shipping, or at cookie booths all throughout GSHH’s seven-county footprint. Girl Scout Cookie Season is a special time of year where Girl Scouts get to showcase and expand on all they’ve learned through their time in Girl Scouting and display what it means to embody the Girl Scout Promise and Law.”
Nearly 700k girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which provides vital girl-led entrepreneurial skills that build courage, confidence and character. As a result, girls obtain limitless barrier-breaking futures outside the box with transferable life skills. Girl Scouts can earn a variety of badges and awards to develop valuable business skills including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins and Entrepreneur badges.
