Program Activities

For over 75 years, Girl Scout cookie activities have helped girls learn invaluable skills, such as decision-making, money management, and delivering on a promise. These activities are directly related to our mission of helping build girls of courage, confidence and character.

Exemption From Federal Taxes

Individuals who buy Girl Scout cookies and take the cookies home or consume the cookies, have purchased a product at a fair market value. For this reason, no part of the price of a box of Girl Scout cookies is tax-deductible.

Many Girl Scouts ask customers to pay for one or more boxes of cookies for use with their community service project— for example, collecting for a food pantry. These customers do not receive any Girl Scout cookies and so do not benefit directly from paying for the cookies. These individuals may treat the purchase price of the cookies as a charitable contribution.
