Girl Scout Cookie Season begins January 2026!

Every year, Girl Scouts troops throughout Connecticut use their cookie earnings to make their communities a better place. All proceeds from the cookie program stay in Connecticut! These funds allow Girl Scouts to participate in events and activities they choose and helps Girl Scouts of Connecticut (GSOFCT) to fund programming, leadership development opportunities, and trainings for youth members and adults throughout the state.

About the Girl Scout Cookie Program®

As the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, the Cookie Program offers both first-time and veteran cookie sellers the opportunity to have fun and learn 5 essential skills:

Top Tips

Digital Cookie

The Digital Cookie platform allows Girl Scouts to add e-commerce to their cookie program. Girl Scouts can use email and social media to drive customers to their online storefront where customers can purchase cookies for girl delivery or direct shipping.

Registration information will be sent by email once the season begins. Check back for details in January 2026.

Using the Digital Cookie app, Girl Scouts can send customers an email with a link to their online storefront and accept credit card payments via the app for in-person purchases.

Note: Inform your troop leader when you need cookies for a Digital Cookie Girl Delivery order.

Girl Scouts can also earn special rewards for Digital Cookie sales, including a unique charm to add to the Charm Patch!

Reaching out to Customers

Families are instrumental in helping Girl Scouts reach their cookie program goals. While friends and family may be a Girl Scout’s first customers, remember these tried-and-true ways to expand your cookie network:

Door-to-door sales and distributing door hangers, if permitted.
Parent/caregiver/family friend’s coworkers and colleagues.

Sharing a Girl Scout’s Digital Cookie site on social media.

Before using social media, Girl Scouts/parents/caregivers must review the Digital Marketing Tips for Cookie Entrepreneurs and Families and Supplemental Safety Tips for Online Marketing.

Safety

Safety

The safety of Girl Scouts, their families, and volunteers remains our foremost priority. Below are some key safety guidelines youth members and families need to be aware of when participating in the cookie program.

Forms: All Girl Scouts must be registered and have a signed Annual Consent form on file with the troop.
Adult Supervision:
- Daisies-Juniors: an adult must accompany when they are selling, taking orders, or delivering cookies.
- Cadettes-Ambassadors: use the buddy system under adult supervision.
Uniform: Girl Scouts should wear a membership pin, uniform, or Girl Scout clothing when selling and taking orders in person or delivering cookies.
Digital Media: Girl Scouts and families must review and abide by GSUSA’s Digital Marketing Tips for Cookie Entrepreneurs and Supplemental Safety Tips for Online Marketing prior to using social media to promote a Girl Scout’s participation in the cookie program.
Social Media: Girl Scouts 12 years and younger may use social media accounts of parents/caregivers/trusted adults to promote their Digital Cookie online storefront.
- Girl Scouts 13 years and older may use their personal social media accounts.
