“We are grateful for OneAZ Credit Union’s support in creating this unique experience for older Girl Scouts.”
The 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season is back in full force through March 2, 2025, as more than 7,500 girls in 90-plus communities across Central and Northern Arizona from Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) embrace their entrepreneurial spirit with timeless Girl Scout Cookie flavors that make a lasting impact, as funds raised stay 100% local.
“Girl Scout Cookie season and the community’s support of the program are life-changing for local girls, directly supporting Arizona Cactus-Pine Council’s focus areas of STEM, outdoor activities, life skills and entrepreneurship in addition to troop activities and long-term community service projects,” said Christina Spicer, co-CEO of GSACPC. “Proceeds from the sale further support girl-led take-action projects created by Girl Scouts to make long-lasting change in mental and physical health, education, art, sustainability, animal welfare and much more.”
The Girl Scout Cookie Program proceeds also remain local, helping to improve the accessibility and affordability of Girl Scouting by offering financial assistance toward membership fees, uniforms and camp.
“As the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, the Girl Scout Cookie program serves as a launchpad for girls to get their entrepreneurial beginnings and build essential skills in focus areas of goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics,” said Mary Mitchell, Co-CEO of GSACPC.
During the season, GSACPC will provide opportunities for older girls to foster entrepreneurial skills through Empowering Girl Scout Entrepreneurs on Feb. 1 in Phoenix, hosted in partnership with OneAZ Credit Union. The event will offer activities that allow girls to gain confidence as they create engaging cookie pitches and work with 50+ local executives and business leaders.
“We are grateful for OneAZ Credit Union’s support in creating this unique experience for older Girl Scouts. We will have over 100 girls interacting with local leaders, gaining their advice and participating in real-life experiences such as elevator pitching in an actual elevator, boardroom pitching in a professional setting and studio experiences to get headshots taken and record videos to build their personal brands,” said Mitchell.
