INDIANAPOLIS — The 2023 Girl Scout Cookie season begins Tuesday, Jan. 10 for the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana.
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, field trips and community service projects.
In 2023, customers can purchase a $6 box of cookies for a direct donation to members of the military, healthcare providers, first responders and food pantries through "Cookies for a Cause." Last year, more than 68,000 packages of cookies were donated through the program, which was formerly called "Operation: Cookie Drop."
This year's cookie season in central Indiana will last through March 12.
