The 2020 Girl Scout Cookies are here! This is one of my favorite times of the year because it's wonderful to see people supporting the entrepreneurial spirit of young girls, especially here in Texas! In today's post, I'll share some details about the benefits of supporting the girls, tell you about the 2020 Girl Scout Cookie lineup, and share a link so that you are able to search for a Girl Scout Cookie Booth near you! I'll also tell you about where to get a FREE box of Girl Scout cookies when you donate blood.
Let's start with the benefits. The Girl Scout Cookie Program provides financial support to Girl Scouts. When you buy cookies, you help to support their activities which may include a variety of things such as STEM activities, leadership activities, or other skill-based activities with their local troops. In some cases the funds even support sending the girls to camps! Of course, there is so much more to it on a personal level. Girls view themselves as entrepreneurs. They may think about their business strategy and put many hours into their cookie sales which may provide confidence and foster their interests in business pursuits. They see outcomes! Hard work translates to success which is a real motivator for many girls. When you buy a box of cookies, you add to their numbers and contribute to their success. Many small acts of kindness to support the girls add up quickly! I read that over half (53 percent) of female entrepreneurs and business owners are Girl Scout alums – like local business owners Andrea Meyer of Bisous Bisous Pâtisserie and Nina Vaca of Pinnacle Group – supporting Girl Scouts as they make sales and learn essential business skills is imperative to ensuring our country has a strong workforce and economy.

The newest cookies this year are the Lemon-Ups. These cookies are delicious and inspiring on multiple levels. Here is the cookie description:
"NEW Lemon-Ups™ are available in select areas now! When you purchase a box of our crispy, lemon cookies baked with motivational messages inspired by bold Girl Scout Cookie entrepreneurs, you're helping a girl learn money management. She handles money, keeps records, even tracks orders—activities that are essential to running a successful business."We love the messages on these cookies that give inspiration! Plus, everyone in our family tried them and raves about how amazing they taste.
The S'mores cookies were new to our family this year. These sandwich style cookies are delicious! Here is the description:
