The Girl Scouts of the USA announced Tuesday the launch of the 2024 national Girl Scout Cookie season.

The 2024 theme is "Unbox the Future," according to the organization, which aims to remove social barriers that often keeps girls boxed in.

Proceeds from each box sold stay with local troops and councils, which the GSUSA says "play a vital role in powering impactful experiences throughout the year, including service projects, troop travel, and even summer camp."

“Girls break expectations through the power of the cookie program and open a host of possibilities beyond the box,” said GSUSA chief revenue officer Wendy Lou in a news release announcing the launch of the cookie season.
