How the cookies crumble

The Girl Scout Cookie Program provides the financial assistance that keeps Girl Scouting available and affordable to all girls. It is also the largest source of funding for volunteer training, our facilities, and core leadership experiences. Girls who participate in the cookie program enrich experiences for their Girl Scout sisters of today and tomorrow. They earn rewards for themselves and money for troop adventures, activities, and community service projects, and for councilwide Girl Scout programs.

Note: Girl Scouts San Diego does not receive any portion of girl and adult members’ $25 annual membership dues, which are retained by Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA).

Entrepreneurs with Empathy: Caring for Our Community!

Since 2020, hundreds of generous San Diego and Imperial Girl Scouts have declined items offered as rewards. Initially, it was when reward events were cancelled due to COVID-19. Instead, they elected to donate much-needed items to local charities including Sharp HealthCare Foundation, Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, and the San Diego Humane Society, and many paid it forward to Girl Scouts San Diego, so girls who might not otherwise be able to afford it could be a part of this amazing organization. The response by girls and recipients alike was overwhelmingly positive, so Entrepreneurs with Empathy continues. Options begin with the 650+ package level. Girls receive a thank you certificate and patch from us, and recognition from the recipient organization. Watch our website and your in-box for the debut of the patch design and list of recipient organizations for 2022.

Patches, certificate and recipients shown are from 2021.
