Girl Scout Cookie Season in North Texas Means Nice Bonuses for the Community

Girl Scout cookie season starts on January 13 nationwide.

What started as a grassroots project in 1917 has grown into a sweet spot not only for the girls who sell cookies, but also for the communities these girls serve.

“We give back to the community,” said Becky Burton, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains. “Girls make decisions about what they want to support in the community, including service projects. I know that we have soldiers who love to help in animal shelters. They even give money to their troops to support them. They get the opportunity to make these decisions. They see a need in their community and look for ways to help with money and services. It’s not just cookies. You are helping a young girl realize her dreams and contribute to society.”

Even if you’re not a cookie lover or just can’t get one, your donation can help a community hero get his.

“We have a Cookies for Heroes campaign. You know, people will say, “I’m on a diet” or “I don’t need cookies.” Where else can you buy a pack of cookies and that squad will take it and give it to our community of heroes. To teachers, first responders, hospital workers to thank them for everything they do for our community,” Burton said.

Old favorites are available again this year, including a gluten-free option and Raspberry Rally online only.

“The GS cookie program is the largest women’s business in the country because every little girl has her own business. They set their goals. They set their budget. They develop their marketing plan. It develops self-confidence. It’s amazing what these girls are getting from this experience and we just want to thank the communities that continue to support them every year.”

Each year, the cookie season also causes great controversy: what is the most popular cookie?

“Thin mint. Of course, this is Thin Mint. They are the second best-selling cookie in the country after Oreo, and Oreos are sold all year round. Girl Scout cookies can only be purchased three months a year, Burton said.

Cookies may be bought online and delivered.
