Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Cookie Season 2024 Announcement
Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Cookie Season 2024 Announcement
WARWICK, RI (October 12, 2023)— Mark your calendars, because Girl Scouts in our area will be out selling cookies at your neighborhood groceries, restaurants, and stores starting on January 20, 2024!
The 2024 Girl Scout cookie season will begin in early January, and our prices in Rhode Island, 13 towns in Massachusetts, and Pawcatuck, CT will stay the same—$5 for Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Trefoils, Lemonades, Adventurefuls, and Toast-Yay; and $6 for the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip. 100% of the proceeds stay local, powering life-changing programming and volunteer support while building troop funds to explore new places, programs, creating meaningful community impact, and beyond.
Considered the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches essential skills of financial literacy, planning, budgeting, teamwork, innovative thinking, and decision-making. Since 1917, the Cookie Program has provided vital resources to support the Movement, growing girls of courage, confidence, and character that make the world a better place.
Last year, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England sold over 675,000 packages of cookies. Each Girl Scout council sets their own cookie prices, and while GSSNE has experienced significant cost increases over the past few years, we have not passed these costs along to our consumers. Girl Scout cookie prices in our community have remained unchanged for 5 years. And don’t worry, the package and cookie sizes remain unchanged as well!
“We are laser-focused on ensuring that Girl Scouts is the most relevant, engaging, youth-centered, and inclusive leadership development program available,” says Dana Borrelli-Murray, GSSNE CEO. “The Movement is designed to help youth discover their personal best and prepare for a positive future, connect with others in an increasingly diverse world, and take action to solve problems and improve their communities. The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps put profits back in the hands of youth, creates mechanisms for youth to be the decision-makers of how funding is spent, and to work both independently and as a team. Additionally, they help GSSNE grow our programs so we can continue to provide amazing experiences for our Girl Scouts and volunteers.”

We Are Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs across Southeastern New England, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
