The volunteer-led Product Sales Committee has approved increasing the price of Girl Scout Cookies sold in the 2024 Cookie Program to $6/package.
The 2024 cookie flavors will be:
When Girl Scout Troops sell $6 packages of cookies, they will earn:
| Packages | With Rewards | Opted Out of Rewards |
| 1-249 | $0.70 | $0.80 |
| 250-299 | $0.75 | $0.85 |
| 300+ | $0.80 | $0.90 |
An additional $0.20/package is allocated to girl rewards.
After paying the baker for making the Girl Scout Cookies, all proceeds will stay local!
Our costs to the cookie baker will rise 10% from 2023 to 2024. To align with the pricing of Girl Scout Cookies across the Midwest and keep up with rising costs, our council determined that a price increase would be necessary to maintain operations and create an exceptional Cookie Program for local troops. This new cookie price will help us maintain a consistent price of $6 for several years.
Our Product Sales Committee is led by long-time Girl Scout volunteers who have thoughtfully considered how this price increase would impact volunteers, families, customers, and most importantly, our Girl Scouts.
After analyzing the rising costs for our council and consulting with other Girl Scout councils in our region, our volunteer-led Product Sales Committee worked through many pricing scenarios and volunteer challenges.
We believe navigating through challenges as one Movement with a unified voice is very important. To operate a sustainable Girl Scout council, we need to have a successful cookie season. We have experienced years where participation has been low during challenging times, and we had to make significant cuts to programming, staffing, and properties. If we can come together as one Movement in 2024, we believe that our Girl Scouts, troops, and council can thrive with exceptional programs, camps, and volunteer support.
The new Girl Scout Cookie price will ensure the sustainability of all opportunities for Girl Scouts, including:
- Ability to offer financial assistance to Girl Scout families ($146,000/year)
- Summer camp and equestrian program and year-round maintenance of three camp properties ($1,200,000/year)
- Volunteer training opportunities and support and events and programs for Girl Scouts like badge workshops, leadership retreats for teens, Halloweekend, Journey the World, Girl Scouts Love State Parks, etc. ($3,311,000/year)
The Cookie Program is not only a fundraiser, but also a chance for Girl Scouts to build essential life skills. When Girl Scouts participate in the Cookie Program, they are taking their first steps as entrepreneurs and learning how to achieve their dreams. Every Girl Scout will learn goal setting, money management, people skills, decision-making, and business ethics.
