Cookies Are Coming
Girl Scout Cookies are on the way! Pickups are happening this week across the council. Ask your local Service Unit Cookie Manager for times and locations.
We are launching Walk-About Week January 10-18 to celebrate the arrival of our iconic treats! Try out your people skills with your customers closest to home by taking a walk around your neighborhood with a trusted adult or by inviting your neighbors to an open house. Earn the Walk-About patch by selling 35 packages between January 10-18 and enter our Walk-About Week Photo Contest by January 26 for a chance to win an ice cream party for your troop.
Summer Camp Coupon Ends Next Week
We invite all of our GSCP2P friends and family to celebrate summer camp by purchasing this special Cyber Monday T-shirt. Anyone that purchases a T-shirt by January 15, 2026 will receive a $25 coupon off your summer camp registration (coupon to be e-mailed to you on January 20).
Just want the T-shirt? Great! You can still purchase the shirt and support our GSCP2P camps!
Gabby’s Dollhouse Movie Night
Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies and Juniors are invited to join us in Greensboro on Saturday, January 24 for a meow-mazing adventure with Girl Scouts and Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie.
Gabby and the Gabby Cats love exploring, creating and helping one another—that’s something Girl Scouts know all about! Together, they show how friendship sparks imagination and opens the door to new adventures. Price includes activities, patch, popcorn, a movie and cat-tastic fun!
Destination Diaries
Did you know Cookie Dough can be earned through the Girl Scout Cookie Program? These credits can be used on purchases at any of GSCP2P’s shops or camp trading posts, for admission to council events, for summer camp fees and even used to help you travel through council-sponsored pathway trips like GSUSA-sponsored Destinations or GSUSA-sponsored getaways.
Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors are invited to join us virtually on Sunday, February 15 for Adventure Awaits: Destination Diaries- Girl Scouts Share Their Adventures! Discover the adventure and wonder of travel! Hear from girls who have participated in both local and far-flung Destinations trips, learn about the travel opportunities available to you as a Girl Scout and get inside tips on how to fund your travels. It’s time to discover where in the world Girl Scouts can take you next!
Bandit’s Tips For Cookie Program Fun
The Girl Scout Cookie Program has officially started, and we’re excited for you to learn entrepreneurial skills, have fun raising funds for your next adventure and earn financial literacy badges.
Bandit’s Tip:
Start networking with other entreprenuers! Networking is building and maintaining relationships with people to create mutual support and discover new opportunities and resources. Participate in the Cookie Tycoon program and level-up your entrepreneurial skills by discovering the power of business partnerships.
Mobile Shop Savings
We are excited to hit the road and deliver Girl Scout shopping experiences to you! Enjoy 10% off orders of $25 or more when you schedule your next Mobile Shop or Uniform Shop event to take place by March 31.
New GSCP2P Wants to Know Survey
It has been an honor to serve Girl Scouts and their families across our 40-county footprint this past fall. Your feedback is a valuable resource to help us ensure we are delivering the best experience to our members. All adult Girl Scouts and caregivers of youth members are encouraged to complete our short GSCP2P Wants to Know Survey as we prepare for more fun ahead.
The mobile shop can be requested only for events with a minimum of 50 attendees. If your event has fewer participants, we recommend inviting troops to join.
Get Crafty at KidSenses
On Saturday, February 21, Girl Scouts of all ages are invited to KidSenses in Rutherfordton for You Name It. This workshop allows girls to design, craft and light up their own LED name tags.
More discoveries await! Use our Community Partner Directory to schedule unique experiences for your troop.
Patch of the Month: Self-defense
Earn the Self-defense patch while exploring different techniques for self-defense and learning about protecting yourself from harm. This program was created by a GSCP2P Gold Award Girl Scout!
Adult Volunteer Resources & Trainings
Cookie booths start next weekend on January 16! In addition to girl-created posters, we also have downloadable “did you know” booth posters to help you explain the importance of our program. It is especially important to print the Buy5 digital entry poster that has a QR code for qualifying customers to scan and self-submit into our year’s supply of cookies drawing.
Our Buy5 opportunity is a well-loved upsell tactic for many Girl Scouts, and we are providing a digital entry option to make cookie season easier for our volunteers. If you choose to print paper entries, remember to deliver them to your local service center by March 10.
