Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Kicks Off 2025 Cookie Season from Jan. 19 to March 2, 2025, Empowering Local Girls Through Entrepreneurship
January 07, 2025
The 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season returns from Jan. 19 to March 2, 2025, as more than 7,500 girls in 90-plus communities across central and northern Arizona from Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) embrace their entrepreneurial spirit with timeless Girl Scout Cookie flavors that make a lasting impact as funds raised stay 100 percent local.
“Girl Scout Cookie season and the community’s support of the program are life-changing for local girls, directly supporting Arizona Cactus-Pine Council’s focus areas of STEM, outdoor activities, life skills, and entrepreneurship in addition to troop activities and long-term community service projects,” says Christina Spicer, Co-CEO of GSACPC. “Proceeds from the sale further support girl-led take-action projects created by Girl Scouts to make long-lasting change in mental and physical health, education, art, sustainability, animal welfare, and much more.”
The Girl Scout Cookie Program proceeds also remain local, helping to improve the accessibility and affordability of Girl Scouting by offering financial assistances towards membership fees, uniforms, and camp.
“As the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, the Girl Scout Cookie Program serves as a launchpad for girls to get their entrepreneurial beginnings and build essential skills in focus areas of goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics,” says Mary Mitchell, Co-CEO of GSACPC.
The 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season lineup includes Girl Scouts’ delicious classic cookie flavors, Adventurefuls®, Thin Mints®, Samoas®, Tagalongs®, Do-si-dos®, Trefoils®, and Lemon-Ups® for $6, as well as specialty cookies Girl Scout S'mores® and Toffee-tastic® for $7. The beloved Girl Scout S’mores® cookie flavor will be retired at the end of the 2025 cookie season.
As you enjoy your favorite Girl Scout Cookies this season, discover how the sweet treats will make a difference in girls and the community across central and northern Arizona through impactful events and partnerships.
Feb. 1 - Empowering Girl Scout Entrepreneurs
During the season, GSACPC will provide opportunities for older girls to foster entrepreneurial skills through Empowering Girl Scout Entrepreneurs on Feb. 1 in Phoenix, hosted in partnership with OneAZ Credit Union. The event will offer activities that allow girls to gain confidence as they create engaging cookie pitches and work with 50+ local executives and business leaders.
"We are grateful for OneAZ Credit Union's support in creating this unique experience for older Girl Scouts. We will have over 100 girls interacting with local leaders, gaining their advice, and participating in real-life experiences such as elevator pitching in an actual elevator, boardroom pitching in a professional setting, and studio experiences to get headshots taken and record videos to build their personal brands,” says Mitchell.
March 1 - Bring Home the Cookies 5K
GSACPC invites the community to celebrate the achievements of local girls this cookie season at the fourth annual Bring Home the Cookies 5K at Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale on March 1, hosted by GSACPC and State Forty Eight Foundation, in collaboration with State Forty Eight. The Bring Home the Cookies 5K will feature a family fun run/walk, a Celebrity Cookie Eating Contest with local figures, Girl Scout-led businesses, and more family-friendly fun.
“The annual Bring Home the Cookies 5K is the perfect way to say goodbye to cookie season as we come together to recognize the success of girls and the community we love with our partner, State Forty Eight Foundation, which aligns with Girl Scouts in our efforts to support leadership and empower entrepreneurship opportunities continually,” says Spicer.
All registered participants will receive a limited-edition State Forty Eight 5K shirt, medal, and a package of Girl Scout Cookies.
Spicer notes the Runners Village on-site at the Bring Homes the Cookies 5K, which will feature local Girl Scout entrepreneurs who utilized their previous experience learned in the Girl Scout Cookie Program to create their own businesses and sell their own products.
