USAGSO operates a limited cookie program, which is restricted to sales on U.S. military installations in Asia, Europe, Guantanamo Bay and Bahrain, as well as in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa and U.S. Embassies in Cairo, Tokyo, Lisbon, Frankfurt, North Athens, Madrid, Sarajevo, Pristina, Rome and Paris.
The cookie program is limited to these locations for a variety of reasons, but mainly due to the restrictions around the importation and sale of American food products outside of the United States. Consequently, Girl Scout cookies are only sold at these locations and cannot be sold in the economy.
At USAGSO, Girl Scout cookies are only sold in booths in U.S. military installations and approved U.S. Embassies. Rules and regulations that govern the ability to provide this program restrict door-to-door, “pre-order” or individual girl selling.
The aforementioned rules and regulations do not apply to our members in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa. Please check the sale dates on our website for more information.
Selling cookies on the economy is forbidden. It is in violation of the agreement under which cookies are brought into the overseas locations. Selling cookies on the local economy puts your girls at risk for being stopped by the local police officials and puts the entire Girl Scout Cookie Program at risk for future sales. Please stress this with your girls and parent/guardian/adult volunteers. This restriction does not apply to our members in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa.
