Girl Scouts of Western Ohio kicks off the 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season, a time when Girl Scouts everywhere build their entrepreneurial skills as they find new and inventive ways to sell cookies, unboxing brighter futures for themselves. With the much-anticipated cookie season back in full swing, cookie lovers can rejoice as they indulge in the classic cookie line-up.
When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest entrepreneurial program in the world, they acquire a host of invaluable entrepreneurial skills, including goal setting, money management, decision making, people skills, and business ethics. Each box of cookies sold allows Girl Scouts to develop an inextinguishable entrepreneurial spirit, gaining courage, confidence, and character as they conquer new feats and embark on new adventures.
In addition, Girl Scouts obtain transferable life skills as they earn a variety of related badges and awards, including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins, and Entrepreneur badges.
This season, Girl Scouts of Western Ohio calls on community members to support their favorite cookies—and the girls behind each box. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with troops in western Ohio and southeastern Indiana to fuel inspiring experiences throughout the year including camp, amazing trips, service projects and much more.
In Greater Cincinnati (north of the Ohio River), Girl Scout Cookie season will run now through March 16.
