Everybody wins when you order a box of Girl Scout Cookies: you cater to your craving; girls gain courage, confidence, and character; and communities experience positive change.

Girl Scout Cookies have been a part of the scouting program for decades. While the tradition started in the early 1900s as a bake sale to raise funds for a troop, the idea quickly caught on, with the organization eventually standardizing the production of these treats.

A child would need to eat 9,000 cookies in a day to approach harmful levels of pesticide or naturally occurring heavy metals.
