The Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways (GSNYPENN) Council invites the community to celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend which falls on March 3-5 this year. The annual event celebrates all Girl Scouts participating in the cookie program. It marks a time when America’s beloved cookies are widely available across the country and reminds the community that each purchase supports their local Girl Scouts.

The public can use the Girl Scout Cookie Finder to locate early cookie booths across the GSNYPENN region this weekend. Around 125 booths are scheduled in the council’s footprint which spans 24 counties in N.Y. and two in northern Pa. Troops earned early cookie booths as special incentives during the council’s Early Bird Renewal period and 2022 Treats, Reads & More fall product program. (GSNYPENN’s regular booth season runs April 1-23.)

Cookies can also be ordered for direct shipment using troop ordering links available through the cookie finder tool. Learn more on the council’s dedicated season page at buygirlscoutcookiesnow.com.

As always, 100% of cookie program proceeds stay local, powering life-changing programming and volunteer support through councils and building troop funds to explore new places, programs, and beyond. GSNYPENN cookie season runs through April 23. Locally, cookies remain priced at $5 per package.

Girl Scouts use cookie funds to pay for invaluable experiences like attending summer camp, going on field trips, and spearheading community service projects. As the community opens their favorite box of Girl Scout Cookies, they simultaneously open new doors for local girls to explore their leadership potential, build lifelong friendships, and make the world around them a better place.
