Friday, February 14, is Valentine’s Day! What better time to treat your loved one to a box of delicious Girl Scout cookies? It’s a sweet way to thank the people who are important in your life and show them you care – from teachers and bus drivers to day-care providers and grandparents.

Girl Scout cookies not only convey a caring message, but buying a box helps build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Through the cookie sale and other activities, Girl Scouts develop an entrepreneurial spirt, financial literacy, and public speaking and decision-making skills. Nine in ten Girl Scouts say the cookie program has built their entrepreneurial skills and their interest in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career path – so every cookie purchase is an investment in the world-changing business leaders of tomorrow. What’s more, each purchase stays local to power amazing experiences and leadership opportunities.

The cost is $4 per box. The sale extends through March 22, 2020.

Girl Scout cookies can only be purchased from a registered Girl Scout.
