The Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois Cookie Program runs Jan. 6 to March 21. All varieties of cookies are $5 per box. The eight types of cookies are: Lemon-ups, Di-Si-Dos, Tagalings, Samoas, Trefoils, Thin Mints, Toffee-tastic (gluten free), and S'mores.
Order your favorite Girl Scout Cookies for direct shipping or cookie donation purchase at www.girlscoutsni.org.
Or you can complete a form to connect you to a Girl Scout in your area to take and deliver your order.
Customers must live within the boundaries of Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois council to be able to connect you with a Girl Scout in your area. Locally, this includes all of Kane and McHenry counties, as well as the southwest portion of Lake County, the far western portion of Cook County, and a small portion of northwest DuPage County.
During the initial order phase of the program through Jan. 30, Girl Scouts are collecting orders via a paper order card and Digital Cookie online ordering. Cookie orders taken at this time (with the exception of online shipped orders) will be delivered to customers towards the end of February/beginning of March. Customers placing online orders and requesting shipped delivery to their door (additional charges apply) will receive their order within 5-7 business days after completing the order.
Booth sales will be Feb. 26 to March 21. During the booth sales phase of the program, customers will see Girl Scouts at retail locations throughout the council area.
Troops also may be promoting virtual and drive-thru cookie booths this year.
Use the Cookie Finder App or visit www.girlscoutsni.org to help locate a booth near you or a local troop's online link.
Get $5 off shipping cost on online shipped orders of 9 or more packages of cookies. This offer is exclusive to Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois and available through the end of the 2021 GSNI Cookie Program on March 21.
Girl Scouts and their troops will have cookies in-hand after Feb. 26.
In addition to booth sales, Girl Scouts may continue to sell cookies in-person with cookies in-hand, through Digital Cookie online ordering, or by order card while supplies last.
In 2009, four Girl Scout councils merged to form Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois: Girl Scouts - Fox Valley Council, Green Hills Girl Scout Council, Girl Scouts - Sybaquay Council, and Girl Scouts - Rock River Valley Council. Now, we're nearly 20,000 strong-15,000 girls and 5,000 adults who believe every girl can change the world. The Girl Scouts develop leadership skills in 16 counties including parts or all of Boone, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago.
The Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois has five Resource Centers located in South Elgin, Freeport, Rockford, Lake Zurich and Oswego; four camp facilities located in Stillman Valley, Big Rock, Hanover and Harvard.
A new resource center is located at 3425 Orchard Road in Oswego. The organization has sold its building at 200 New Bond St. in Sugar Grove. The new center is part of the organization's ongoing strategy to create Girl Scout locations in the northern Illinois region-in Freeport, Lake Zurich, Rockford, and South Elgin-with a modern, vibrant store, meeting space for staff, and increased visibility and convenience for families and volunteers.
Once it is safe to open our facilities to the public, they will be hosting a grand opening celebration for all Girl Scout families to officially "open" the new location to the community.
