Are you a Girl Scout family? Do you have a Girl Scout in your household or down the street or maybe a niece or cousin. Then you already know, that this weekend is Girl Scout Cookie weekend. If not, you do now 🙂

Please see the following press release:

“This weekend, thousands of girls across southeast Wisconsin will celebrate Girl Scout Cookie Weekend 2019, when all are encouraged to find their cookies at a local cookie booth, and support troop projects and experiences.

Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast along with Girl Scouts across the nation will participate in National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend 2019, February 22–24, celebrating the impactful entrepreneurial program that has sparked the success of millions of women. The Girl Scout Cookie Program^®, the largest annual investment in girls in the United States, powers amazing experiences for girls as they learn invaluable entrepreneurial skills and make the world a better place.

The National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is an annual event that encourages consumers to support the female leaders and change-makers of today and tomorrow. While just 17 percent of startups are founded by women, the cookie program equips girls with the skills and attributes they need, such as persistence, confidence, and healthy risk-taking, to become business founders and leaders in the future.

All of the proceeds fund troop projects and experiences, as well as important programming at the local level, such as outdoor adventure and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). And many Girl Scouts invest their earnings back into their communities, which means that consumers are not just purchasing delicious cookies—they’re also supporting the betterment of their communities and a bright future for girls. Girl Scouts in southeastern Wisconsin have completed projects including installation of a wheelchair accessible garden bed at the Riveredge Nature Center, a children’s book program at the Brookfield Public Library, a mental illness awareness program targeting middle school students, an engineering conference for girls at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, and more.

“Girl Scouts helps girls build progressive leadership skills,” said Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast CEO Christy Brown. “When you buy a box of Girl Scout Cookies you are funding opportunities that give girls the tools they need to combat current challenges and achieve their goals. Cookies help girls discover courage, develop confidence, and define their character.”

Girl Scout Cookie Weekend offers enterprising girls a chance to show off their cookie-selling skills by participating in booth and door-to-door sales as well as through the Digital Cookie^®platform, an innovative and educational web-based addition to the cookie program that helps girls run their cookie businesses online. Now in its fifth year, Digital Cookie continues to keep Girl Scout programming current and relevant to today’s girls.”
