What is a Cookie Rally?

A Cookie Rally is an event held at the council, service unit and/or troop level that teaches Girl Scouts how to grow their cookie business by building the 5 skills. Every service unit is encouraged to hold a cookie rally or encourage girls to attend the Girl Scouts - Diamonds Cookie Palooza. Kick off this cookie season with a high energy, activity packed Cookie Rally while you show girls how to be successful in the Cookie Program.
