We're just a few weeks away from the 2nd annual Run for the Cookies 5k! Over 700 runners will join us on November 16 in Roswell, GA to get active, spend time outside, and celebrate with Girl Scout Cookies. 🍪 This event wouldn't be possible without the support of our amazing sponsors.

Through the Girl Scout Cookie program, Girl Scouts learn and build on five essential skills, including: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. And data shows that Girl Scouts who attend Cookie Rally sell more cookies and achieve their goals! 🍪 💚
