HONOLULU — The 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Season is set to begin with presales starting Feb. 16, but for people who prefer the in-person touch, cookie booths will open on Feb. 23 at various locations across the state selling your tried-and-true favorite whether itʻs Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils and others.
Every box sold help Girl Scouts gain invaluable experiences ranging from community service projects to STEM and to travel.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program is an amazing skill-building opportunity for girls and a fun, tasty way for the entire community to get involved,” said Girl Scouts of Hawaii CEO Dr. Kanoe Nāone in a news release.
“When someone buys a box of cookies, they are investing in our keiki and Hawaii. The girls learn about leadership, goal setting, communication, sales and customer service. These are skills they’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives, setting them up for success.”
Starting Feb. 16, people can order cookies online via Digital Cookie using a link from a Girl Scout or a troop participating in the online cookie program and get cookies personally delivered.
Folks can also use Cookie Finder to find the nearest booth and pick up cookies in person.
The last day for online and in-person cookie sales is March 31.
According to the Girl Scouts of Hawaii, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is the worldʻs largest girl-led entrepreneurial program teaching them financial literacy, planning, budgeting, teamwork, innovative thinking and decision-making. All proceeds from cookie sales stay in Hawaii.
