Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland Kicks Off 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Season
Consumers in the Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland area can support local girl entrepreneurs by ordering from the iconic cookie lineup starting February 9.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WICHITA, KAN.— On February 9, Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland kicks off the 2024 Girl Scout Cookie season, the annual event in which Girl Scouts unbox their futures as young female entrepreneurs through the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls.
To find a cookie booth, customers can enter their zip code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder. This allows customers to find a time and location for a cookie booth near them. This year, the iconic lineup features Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties®, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Trefoils (previously known as Shortbreads), Lemonades®, Toast-yay!™, the returning brownie-inspired AdventurefulsTM and the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip. Cookies are still $5 per package and all of the proceeds after paying the baker stay in Kansas to support our local Girl Scouts.
During this highly-anticipated time of the year, girls flex their entrepreneurial muscles and acquire important life skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
This year’s theme, Unbox the Future, aims to remove social barriers that often keep girls boxed in. When bold, goal-getting Girl Scouts sell a package of cookies, they’re doing much more than what’s seen at face value. Girl Scouts are entrepreneurial powerhouses creating a more equitable future for themselves and the world. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel and summer camp.
Online Ordering Available Nationwide
GSUSA is making it possible for all consumers nationwide who don’t already know a Girl Scout to purchase Girl Scout Cookies online for shipment to their door. Beginning February 16, customers can enter their zip code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder to find a local troop to purchase from through the Digital Cookie platform for direct shipment or donation to local organizations.
Share Something Sweet with Kansans
Since the Care & Share program began in 2010, customers have donated more than 180,000 packages of cookies to members of the military and local charities. In 2023 alone, more than 11,000 packages were distributed to members of the Kansas community. Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland gives cookie customers the option of sharing the sweet treats with those in the healthcare industry, service men and women, their families and local charities like the Kansas Food Bank. Customers can simply purchase a package of cookies to donate and Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland handles the rest.
Girl Scouts in grades K–12 can start their journey to fun, friendship and new experiences by joining the world's largest entrepreneurial organization for girls at any point in the year. Girls can join and adults can become a volunteer at www.kansasgirlscouts.org/join.
