The Cookie Program Is Coming in just 19 days!
The 5 Skills girls learn through our Girl Scout Cookie Program position them for success, no matter what they choose to pursue in the future. Orange County's annual cookie program begins Sunday, January 27, and all girls will be able to have cookies in hand that same day so they can make their sales, hand over the cookies and collect their money all at once. It's easy, fast and fun!
Check Out Coco
Get ready for success today by checking out Coco, your "online command center" for additional tools to ensure a successful cookie program experience (note that many activities do not begin until the first day of the program, January 27). And remember, the #1 reason people don't buy Girl Scout cookies is because they are never asked! 
Have you Registered for the Cookie Rally on Jan 19?
Where else could you join a Cookie Pep Rally, see Dancing Cookies, earn Patches and Pins, enjoy Goody Bags, Prize Drawings, Cookie Taste Tests, Skills Training, Crafts and more? Fun for the entire family, register by Jan 10! |
