2012 Cookie Sale and Benefits
In 2012, we will be doing a Direct Sale, meaning girls will have cookies in hand to sell February 11 through March 18. Yes, girls will come to your door asking to purchase Girl Scout Cookies. Girls will give you the cookies you want for $3.50 a package each right on the spot.
100% of the money earned from the Cookie program stays right in your community. Every dollar you spend on a box of Girl Scout cookies makes a difference in a girl’s life. Through cookie sales and activities, girls learn to set goals, make decisions and solve problems, manage money and resources, build quality people skills, and establish proper business ethics. Over time, the skills gained set girls on a path to be leaders, in their own lives and in our community. Many successful business women today say they got their start selling Girl Scout cookies.
All your favorites will be returning for the 2012 season as featured below, but this is the last year for Shout Outs. If you love that cookie, you may want to stock up. That means next year we'll have a new cookie in the lineup.
Have You Heard of Cookie Share?
Support Girl Scouting and another local organization by purchasing cookies to donate through the Cookie Share program.
Simply make a "cash" donation equal to the number of packages you'd like donated. For instance, $3.50, $7.00, $10.50, etc. This donation will help purchase Girl Scout Cookies from the troop that will be donated to a local organization chosen by the troop.
Customers may also contact Lakes and Pines Council directly at (800) 955-6032 or cweis@gslakesandpines.org to send in a donation for this program.
Thank you for your support of Girl Scouting and helping to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
Are purchases of Girl Scout Cookies tax deductible?
According to the Internal Revenue Service and Girl Scouts of the USA, there are two possiblities:
1. Customers accept cookies: If individuals buy cookies for personal consumption, they have purchased a product at a a fair market value. For this reason, no part of the price of a package of Girl Scout Cookies is tax deductible.
2. Customers leave cookies with the Girl Scouts: Those customers who do not receive any Girl Scout Cookies, but purchase a package for the Cookie Share Program, do not benefit directly from paying for the cookies. These individuals may treat the purchase prices as a charitable contribution as the Girl Scout will donate these cookies to a charity of the her choice.
