MONTGOMERY, AL—Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama (GSSA) invite communities across southern Alabama to celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend, happening February 16–18. Consumers nationwide can purchase cookies in person from Girl Scouts at any local booth as well as order cookies for direct shipment to their front door using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder. As always, all Girl Scout Cookie® proceeds stay local with councils and troops to power life-changing experiences year-round for Girl Scouts.
The 2024 national Girl Scout Cookie season theme, Unbox the Future, aims to remove social barriers that often keep girls boxed in. The Girl Scout Cookie Program® is the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls and builds courage, confidence, and character through girl-led experiences. As a result, girls kickstart their limitless, barrier-breaking futures ‘outside the box’ by learning transferable life skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
“Girl Scout cookie season provides girls the opportunity to become entrepreneurs, develop goals, learn business ethics and financial literacy, while developing their public speaking skills AND having fun. This year's theme, ‘Unbox the Future,’ promises excitement and innovation as Girl Scouts across southern Alabama chase their dreams and make the world a better place through the Girl Scout Cookie Sale.” -Karlyn Edmonds, CEO
National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend marks a time when America's favorite cookies are widely available across the United States with each purchase supporting local Girl Scouts. In addition to hosting cookie booths and fulfilling online orders for customers who can’t wait to satisfy their cookie cravings, this year Girl Scouts across southern Alabama will be selling cookies door-to-door as part of troop Walkabout Weekend. Proceeds stay local and help Girl Scouts fund invaluable experiences like attending Girl Scout summer camp, going on fun field trips and spearheading meaningful community service projects. As consumers open their favorite package of Girl Scout Cookies, they are unboxing the future for girls in their community. Behind every Girl Scout Cookie purchase is a troop exploring their leadership potential, building lifelong friendships and making the world around them a better place.
