SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Girl Scouts Heart of Central California (GSHCC) invites cookie lovers across the Sacramento, Stockton, and Modesto regions to celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend, taking place Feb. 20 to 22. 

National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is an annual event where Girl Scouts nationwide promote their sales and flex their entrepreneurial spirit through the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program®. Every purchase makes a difference in the lives of young entrepreneurs as they find their way in the world and discover all they are capable of. Joining the iconic cookie lineup this year, Exploremores™, a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie, is another delectable treat that consumers can purchase to support Girl Scouts this season. 

As always, 100% of the proceeds earned through the Girl Scout Cookie Program stay local with councils and troops as they explore more possibilities through life-changing experiences and programming offered year-round. Cookie lovers can purchase their favorite cookies in person from Girl Scouts at any local booth or can order cookies for direct shipment to their front door, using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder. They can also donate cookies to service members, first responders, and local community organizations.

Each box purchased helps fund life-changing experiences for Girl Scouts, from summer camp adventures and educational field trips to STEM activities and impactful community service projects. When customers support Girl Scouts during National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend by purchasing their favorite cookies, they’re not just enjoying a delicious dessert -- they’re opening doors for girls to discover their leadership potential, build lasting friendships and create positive change in their communities. 

“Girl Scout Cookie season is about more than cookies -- it’s about connection, confidence and community,” said GSHCC CEO Linda E. Farley, Ed.D. “National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Girl Scouts and the many ways they explore more, from giving back locally to discovering new interests and building lifelong friendships.”
