The Cookie Program Is Coming! 
Orange County's annual cookie program begins Sunday, January 26. 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. To get started, attend your Troop's Family Meeting, then sign & return the last page of our 2014 Family Guide to your Troop Cookie Manager or the GSI Cookie Coordinator.
Tools for Cookie Success
Get your daughter ready by checking out COCO Cookie Command to set goals & send ecards to ensure a successful cookie program experience. Some activities do not begin until the first day of the program on Sunday, January 26. Remember, the #1 reason people don't buy Girl Scout cookies is because they are never asked!
