2022 Girl Scout Cookie Season Wrap Up!

Three cheers for our girls, adults and volunteers that participated in the 2022 Girl Scout Cookie Program! The 2022 Girl Scout Cookie season is a wrap and we want to celebrate the achievements and effort that went into making the season a success while sharing some of the ways our top cookie sellers commemorated their entrepreneurial achievements. 

In 2022, we met and exceeded our Council goal with a total of 1,309,565 boxes sold with ZERO cookies leftover in our cupboards! This year, 3,892 Girl Scouts in our area participated in the program and learned valuable skills along the way! With every transaction, the community and volunteers were invaluable in supporting Girl Scouts’ ability to learn, grow, and thrive through the program’s adventures. Digital Cookie participation was a home run! 463,574 boxes of cookies were sold by girls in our Council through the Digital Cookie platform! The best part is all proceeds stayed local to help fund life-changing, girl-led programs, experiences, and learning for the next year of Girl Scouting to come.

 

Top Cookie Entrepreneur celebrations kicked off on April 23 with GSCCC’s Top 10 cookie sellers heading to the National Zoo in Washington, DC., alongside GSCCC CEO Tracy Keller! The top ten sellers were Abigael S. from Troop 235, Jasmine B. from Troop 1413, Alaina S. from Troop 94, Sophia H. an IRG member, Alexa R. from Troop 287, Delilah S. from Troop 94, Lexie B. an IRG member, and Lorelei T. from Troop 1026, Maureen K. from Troop 359 and Caitlyn V. from 1659.  Lorelei,  the #1 Cookie Entrepreneur in our Council, who sold 6,142 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, was sure to get a photo with her favorite zoo animal, the panda, while on the visit! 



 

104 girls climbed to CEO level by selling 1250 boxes or more during 2022 and headed to Latitude Climbing + Fitness on May 1 with Tracy Keller alongside to cheer them on. Latitude Climbing and Fitness is a program partner of GSCCC and is owned by GSCCC alum Marisa Beck! 






17 girls earned the top Gift of Caring reward, earning them a Girls Night out at a Tides game on May 13 where one of our Girl Scouts will throw the first pitch. This year, over 53,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies were designated for donation to the 
Virtual Gift of Caring program and will go on to benefit the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia. 


We are so thrilled by the innovation, creativity, and business ethics witnessed throughout the 2022 Girl Scout Cookie program! We sure had an “Adventureful” time and can’t wait to see what next year’s program brings!


When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they’re part of the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world! Having the opportunity to run your very own cookie business gives girls skills essential for success today and in the future.
