ST. LOUIS — The 2023 Girl Scout Cookie season begins Saturday, Jan. 7 for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri.
Year after year, local Scouts get the opportunity to gain entrepreneurial and leadership skills through community cookie sales. The money raised allows local troops to participate in summer camps, traveling and community service projects.
In 2023, customers can purchase a $5 box of cookies for a direct donation to nonprofits Operation Food Search and the USO of Missouri.
This year's cookie season will last through March 19.
