Sneak Peek at the 2016 Cookie Program
You asked, and we listened! We’re re-introducing a period of order taking during the 2016 Cookie Program to give families easier access to the program and relieve some of the pressure before cookies arrive. The Cookie Program teaches Girl Scouts skills that will help them grow into leaders in their own lives, in business and the world, and we want to make it easier for girls to participate.
This 10-day period will offer an exclusive time for girls to go door-to-door and reach out to customers online through COCOdirect. By opening up the Cookie Program for order taking 10 days before cookies arrive, we’re giving girls even more ways to learn and succeed through Girl Scouts.
2016 Cookie Program Key Dates:
- January 16, 2016: Cookie Kick-Off in Des Moines, Omaha and Mason City!
- New! February 1 - February 11, 2016: Order-Taking begins (including COCOdirect!)
- February 12 - March 20, 2016: Direct Sales begin (Booth Sales & Cookies on-hand)
- February 27 - 28, 2016: National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend
