Take part in the nationwide celebration of National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend locally with Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) and the thousands of Girl Scouts currently leading their own cookie businesses across 40 counties in western and central North Carolina.
National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is an annual event where Girl Scouts across the country promote their sales and flex their entrepreneurial spirit through the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program®.
Every purchase makes a difference in the lives of young entrepreneurs as they find their way in the world and discover all they are capable of. Joining the iconic cookie lineup this year, Exploremores™, a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie, is another delectable treat that consumers can purchase to support Girl Scouts this season.
100% of the proceeds earned through the Girl Scout Cookie Program always stay local with councils and troops as they explore more possibilities through life-changing experiences and programming offered year-round.
Each box purchased helps fund life-changing experiences for Girl Scouts, from summer camp adventures and educational field trips to STEM activities and impactful community service projects. When customers support Girl Scouts during National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend by purchasing their favorite cookies, they’re not just enjoying a delicious dessert — they’re opening doors for girls to discover their leadership potential, build lasting friendships and create positive change in their communities.
In 2025, local Girl Scouts sold 1.3 million packages of cookies and donated 221,100 to U.S. military personnel, local food banks and first responders through Cookies for a Cause, GSCP2P’s annual service project in connection with the cookie program.
The local council is also continuing its “Buy 5” drawing for the 2026 season. Any customer who purchases five packages of cookies in a single transaction can have their name entered in a drawing to win a year’s supply of their favorite Girl Scout Cookies.
