Largest Girl-Led Business in the Country

When you buy Girl Scout cookies, girls decide where the money goes. Our girls have big hearts and big imaginations, and Girl Scout cookies help bring out the confidence in a girl to turn her dreams into a reality. Through participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program girls develop five essential skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

Proceeds Remain in Local Community

Cookies are $3.50 per box upon delivery, and all proceeds remain locally to fund both council and troop activities, maintain camp properties, fund recruitment and training of adult volunteers, and support council-wide initiatives.

Eight Varieties of Cookies

Try our newest cookie, Savannah Smiles, this lemon wedge cookie is cool and crisp, with just the right number of lemon chips to deliver tiny burst of flavor. And when you hold it right, you’ll quickly be reminded of that world famous “Brownie Smile.” And it wouldn’t be Girl Scout Cookie time without favorites like Thin Mints, Samoas, Trefoils, Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos, as well as relative newcomers, the Thank U Berry Munch and Dulce de Leche cookies. All cookies are preservative-free, kosher, with zero trans fat per serving.

Gift of Caring

Many Girl Scout troops participate in Gift of Caring, a community service project in which girls encourage customers to buy cookies for donation to a non-profit organization selected by the troop. In addition to supporting local non-profits and service organizations like fire and police departments, in 2009 southeast Louisiana Girl Scouts shipped over 14,000 boxes of cookies to military troops serving overseas in the council’s Troops Helping Troops service project.

 

Thank you for helping girls do great things!
