Rooted in Canadian history, Girl Guide cookies are a pantry staple in countless households, with over five million boxes sold across the country each year.

Whether you enjoy these cookies for the nostalgia, the dynamite chocolate-and-mint combo, or to support Girl Guides, there’s no shortage of reasons to buy a box (or two, or three….).

Continuing a Canadian tradition

Think Girl Guide cookies have been around for as long as you can remember? It’s actually way longer.

The tradition began in 1927 in Regina, when a Girl Guide leader baked cookies to help her unit raise money for uniforms and camping equipment. Her simple idea was an instant hit that evolved into the fundraiser we know and love today.

Girl Guides now accepts cashless payments, making it easier to stock up on your favourite treat.

Investing in the power of girls

As the official fundraiser for Girl Guides across Canada, money raised from cookie sales goes toward dynamic and innovative programming for girls and youth. This includes a wide range of activities, covering everything from STEM workshops and community service to overnight camps and international experiences.

These opportunities empower girls to lead, collaborate, and drive change in their communities and beyond. When you buy Girl Guide cookies, it’s more than a treat — you’re contributing to the next generation of change-makers.

Helping girls discover their own talents

Outdoor adventures. Community exploration. Fun with science. Whatever their interests, Girl Guides allows participants to enjoy life-changing experiences and unlock their potential.

Through both selling cookies and the programs it funds, girls will build leadership skills, make lifelong friendships, and develop career skills that will help them thrive for years to come. That’s a lot of benefit from a simple box of cookies!

Building confidence

Selling cookies is about more than just the money raised. It also helps girls build their confidence by developing skills related to goal-setting, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and money mastery.

These lessons aren’t soon forgotten, and can empower girls for the rest of their lives. After all, confidence in these skills only becomes more important with age.

And finally… deliciousness!

And of course, the real reason you never stop craving Girl Guide cookies — they’re simply irresistible! The classic chocolate and vanilla duo marks the arrival of spring, while the beloved chocolatey mint cookies make their grand entrance in the fall.

As for the endless debate as to which cookie reigns supreme… Well, only you can be the judge of that.

When you buy a box of Girl Guide cookies, you’re helping a Canadian girl embark on a journey filled with friendship, adventure, and personal growth. Visit the Girl Guide cookie finder map to find Girl Guide cookies near you.
