Where does the Money Go ?

When customers buy Girl Scout Cookies , they are helping power unique , and amazing experiences for girls . One hundred percent of the net proceeds from local Girl Scout Cookie sales stay within Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England ! So many experiences are powered by Girl Scout Cookies ! When customers purchase a package of cookies , troops and service units earn proceeds , girls earn recognition items and camp credits , and the purchase helps fund council programs , camp upkeep , financial aid , and more !

COVID-19 & The Cookie Season

As always , the safety of our girls and volunteers is our top priority . Another cookie season during a pandemic is not ideal , but Girl Scouts are strong and will persevere . GSUSA , GSSNE , and ABC Bakers have worked hard to create safe ways for girls to sell during the Cookie Program . There are more online selling options than ever before , which is especially important for any girls that do not want to participate in in-person sales . Returning for 2021-2022 season is the troop direct ship link which is now available on our GSSNE Find Cookies page . This gives customers the option to enter their zip code and either find an in person booth or choose to support a troop with a direct ship order . GSUSA created an algorithm which will select a different troop in the zip code whenever it is searched . Another new online option for troops is virtual booths . Troops will set up days they are taking orders online , and then set up a location for customers to pick up their orders . For in-person sales , troops are still able to take credit cards through the ABC Smart Cookies website to minimize contact as they have in years past , and we ' ll be continuing our epayment option for troops to submit payments to council . As always , selling is not mandatory for girls .
