Community Cookie Partners - Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders

Posted on December 17, 2024

A group of Girl Scouts advertises cookie sales with excitement

Help local Girl Scouts unlock their potential by joining us as a Community Cookie Partner!

When Girl Scouts participate in our annual cookie program, the largest girl-led business in the world, they earn funds to fuel their activities while mastering five skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

By partnering with Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways, your business plays a vital role in helping local Girl Scouts unlock their potential and gain confidence through meaningful, hands-on experiences. Your support not only helps them achieve their goals but also fosters the next generation of strong, capable leaders in your community.

Partner With Us:

  1. Cookie Booth Buyout: Treat your clients or staff and support a great cause. Instead of just buying a few boxes, you can purchase an entire booth’s worth of cookies! Cookies can also be delivered to your office or donated to our Sweet Support Gift of Caring community recipient in the name of your company.
  2. Host a Cookie Booth: Is your business located in a safe, high-traffic area? Can you provide space for a troop to host a booth? Girl Scouts can set up a temporary spot to sell cookies in front of or directly inside your business. They’ll do all the work and help draw in customers!
  3. Invite a Girl Scout to Your Business: Support your local cookie entrepreneurs by inviting one to speak at a staff meeting or set up a spot in your break room. We can arrange for a local Girl Scout to visit, share their program goals and have cookies available for purchase by you or your staff.

Girl Scouts will be engaging in the Cookie Program throughout NYPENN's 26 county footprint. The Cookie Season begins January 9, 2025 and ends March 30, 2025. 

Get started by visiting gsnypenn.org/cookiepartner.
