The 2016 Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Girl Scout Cookie Program was a great success with over 715,500 boxes sold! This year’s sale began in January with a cookie rally at The Dunkin Donuts Center, where close to 1,000 Girl Scouts, troop leaders, and their families came out to participate in a variety of fun filled activities to get them excited about the cookie sale followed by an exciting P-Bruins game.
Girl Scouts throughout our council participated in countless cookie booths and many took part in the Bling Your Booth challenge. There were so many creative designs! We can’t wait until next year to see more of the creativity that goes behind each of these cookie booths.
Girls earned proceeds that will help them to fund troop activities, community service projects, and to help send many to our beautiful GSSNE summer camps. Participation in the program is more than just selling cookies. The Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls how to serve as leaders for change; they learn to make positive impacts within their community and the world. Girls are gaining 5 Skills when they participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics; these are skills they can carry with them for a lifetime of success.
Changing the world—it may sound like a huge job, but that’s what Girl Scouts do every day, with every positive decision they make. Spreading a good attitude. Working to help people in need. Taking steps to be careful with our planet. These are just a few of the things Girl Scouts are doing to change the world.
In 2017, we will be celebrating 100 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies! We look forward to the excitement that the centennial will bring! We want to hear your favorite cookie stories so that we can share them throughout the 100th Anniversary. Click here to share your cookie story with us!

Dream, Design, Do!
