Think big. Dream bold. Sell smart.
Smart Cookie is not your average cookie rally-it's a high-energy entrepreneurship event packed with interactive workshops, hands-on activities, and real-world experiences that will inspire Girl Scouts to lead with confidence and sell with purpose. With sessions tailored to every level, this event blends the fun of a festival with the power of a business bootcamp.
Explore what it means to be a modern-day entrepreneur through goal setting, product know-how, money smarts, and community impact-all while getting pumped for the upcoming Girl Scout Cookie season. You'll rotate through exciting activity zones, hear from inspiring role models, and connect with vendors who bring the Girl Scout mission to life in fresh, fun ways.

💡 Badge Alignment:
This event supports components of the Cookie Business and
Financial Literacy badge series for all levels. While badges are not
earned on-site, activities directly support skill-building tied to
these award requirements.
Who Can Attend?
Open to Girl Scouts of all levels (Daisies through Ambassadors)
and their families. Troop attendance is not required, but each
attending Girl Scout must be accompanied by a registered adult member.
Families are encouraged to attend - after all, they are a Girl Scout's
greatest support system during cookie season!
