Girl Scout Cookie 2020 weekend begins Friday, Carson City sales to continue to March 15
Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada and Girl Scouts of the USA will celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend Feb. 28 through March 1. The annual occasion honors the achievements of young entrepreneurs across the U.S. and in northern Nevada — Girl Scouts who run successful cookie booth and door-to-door cookie sales as well as market their businesses online using the Digital Cookie platform.
And with the new Lemon-Ups cookie, along with the full portfolio of your favorite varieties, there’s never been a better time to invest in girls by purchasing Girl Scout Cookies.
Girl Scouts will be selling cookies in Carson City until March 15.
Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls empower themselves as they earn their own money to put toward a range of experiences, some of which are illustrated on this year’s refreshed cookie packaging — from adventure-packed camping and canoeing, to exploring space science and designing robots, to taking meaningful action to improve girls’ communities.
Every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies makes experiences like these possible for girls in your local community, giving them hands-on opportunities to hone valuable skills like decision making and business ethics. In fact, nine in ten Girl Scouts say the cookie program has built their interest in entrepreneurship and given them the skills to succeed.
“We hope everyone is excited to support thousands of young girls across northern Nevada and northeastern California who are participating in a program that will help them hone the entrepreneurial skills that will help them be successful in many different academic and professional pursuits,” said GSSN Interim CEO Heidi Howe.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program helped me become a true entrepreneur at a young age — and it taught me how to create my own leadership opportunities,” said GSUSA CEO Sylvia Acevedo. “I was able to invest my cookie earnings in my first STEM experiences, which put me on the path to becoming a STEM entrepreneur as a career. The cookie program makes an enormous impact for more than 1 million girls every year; by purchasing Girl Scout Cookies, consumers are supporting our leaders and innovative entrepreneurs of the future.”
This cookie season Girl Scouts has introduced a sweet new way to support young female entrepreneurs who learn essential business skills like money management and goal setting through the cookie program: meet Lemon-Ups, a crispy lemon cookie baked with messages inspired by Girl Scout entrepreneurs.
“I am a go-getter” and “I am an innovator” are among the eight phrases that bring the experience of Girl Scouting to life. The new cookie joins the national 2020 lineup, which also includes favorites such as Thin Mints, Samoas, and Trefoils. Lemon-Ups are available in select council markets.
Girl Scout Cookies can only be purchased from a registered Girl Scout. To find Girl Scouts selling cookies near you, visit www.gssn.org/findcookies or use the official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, free on iOS and Android devices.
