For six weeks each year, Girl Scouts in Arizona participate in the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world: The Girl Scout Cookie Program.
The Girl Scout Cookie season in the East Valley will start tomorrow, Jan. 18, and continue through Feb. 28, helping local troops raise funds for various activities.
The lineup includes Lemon-Ups, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas, Trefoils Do-si-dos for $5 a box and Girl Scout Sâmores and gluten-free Toffee-tastics for $6.
âGiven COVID-19, GSACPC has developed new and different scenarios and ways for girls to sell cookies safely,â said Tamara Woodbury, CEO of GSACPC. âWe are extremely proud to be able to offer our girls both a sense of normalcy in a near-year that has been anything but normal, and a means to help girls grow their entrepreneurial, public speaking, financial and other skills through this modified take on our cookie program.âÂ
