Set Your Cookie Goals Early
Cookie season is your opportunity to dream big and accomplish even bigger things. Whether you’re aiming for rewards, leadership experiences, or adventures around the world, setting your goals early makes your path clear and exciting.
Girl Scouts can use Cookie Dough (plus Nut Bucks from the Fall Product Program) to pay for:
✔ Camp sessions
✔ Council programs
✔ Girl Scout gear
✔ Travel opportunities
✔ And more!
And if travel is part of your dream, don’t forget, you can convert Cookie Dough to Travel Bucks to help fund Girl Scouts of the USA Destinations, council-sponsored trips, and future adventures.
We can’t wait to cheer you on as you reach your goals, unlock new opportunities, and show Nebraska what Girl Scouts can do. Let’s make this cookie season the best one yet!
