We’re interrupting your day to bring you this important announcement: Girl Guide cookies are here. And they are the ULTIMATE in everything.
Girl Guides sell some 6 million boxes of cookies every year. That’s a lot of tasty goodness. But our cookies are more than just a cookie. So. Much. More. Here are just a few of the reasons why Girl Guide cookies are the ULTIMATE treat.
Forget Dragons’ Den – Girl Guides could give a master class in entrepreneurism. In 1927, Girl Guides in Regina baked and sold cookies to raise funds for a camping trip. And so our iconic fundraiser was born.

Girl Guide cookies power amazing experiences for girls. Whether it’s going on her first canoe trip, conquering a rock wall or participating in a science and engineering workshop, Girl Guide cookie sales help fund life-changing experiences for girls in your community.
Cookies are a passport to adventure. From Quebec City to the Yukon, India to Peru and everywhere in between, Girl Guide cookie sales raise funds for travel experiences that help girls see the world – and themselves – in a brand new way.
Girls also develop some pretty sweet skills through cookie sales. Goal setting. Project planning. Money management. Teamwork. Cookie selling gives girls an edge with the kinds of marketable skills that pay off when they’re applying for their first job, an internship or a post-secondary opportunity.
Girl Guide cookies are an out-of-this-world sensation. As a Girl Guide, Roberta Bondar earned her Astronomy badge. As Canada’s first female astronaut, neurologist Roberta Bondar made sure to pack her favourite treat – Girl Guide cookies.
Customers never lie – and our customers can’t seem to get enough of our Girl Guide cookies.

And some of our customers really are cookie connoisseurs…

When you need your cookie connection, there’s a map for that. Cookie Days in Canada is this weekend (April 7 and 8) – and our members will be bringing cookies right to your door, to your local mall and beyond. Our cookie finder map helps you find the cookies you want no matter where you are in Canada.
Be sure to get a box or two or five before they’re all gobbled up…
