Protect the Integrity of Girl Scout Cookies: Stop the Sale of Cookie Imitations

The Issue

Girl Scout cookies are more than just a treat; they represent decades of tradition, empowerment, and community support. For generations, people have eagerly awaited cookie season to support Girl Scouts and enjoy their favorite flavors, knowing their purchases directly help young girls achieve their goals.

However, this cherished tradition is under threat. Major retailers are now selling imitation Girl Scout cookies year-round, often at lower prices and in similar packaging. These products exploit the hard-earned brand recognition of Girl Scouts, undermining the efforts of thousands of girls across the country who depend on cookie sales to fund their activities, trips, and community projects.

We, the undersigned, call on Girl Scouts of the USA to:

1. Take immediate legal action against companies selling Girl Scout cookie-like products.

2. Strengthen trademark protections to prevent such imitations in the future.

3. Lobby for legislative measures to preserve the exclusivity of Girl Scout cookies.

4. Reinforce the uniqueness of Girl Scout cookies as a seasonal, community-based tradition.

By signing this petition, we stand with Girl Scouts and demand action to protect the integrity of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Let’s ensure that every box sold continues to empower young girls and supports their future success.
