Girl Scout cookie season kicked off on Saturday, Jan. 25, as more than 500 volunteers across the Inland Empire helped distribute 1.2 million boxes of cookies.
The “mega drop” of cookies for the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio were distributed in preparation for the annual sale — “the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world,” according to a Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio news release.

Volunteers distributed 100,000 cases of cookies in Riverside, Palm Desert, Apple Valley and Lake Elsinore. More than 500 council staff and volunteers loaded orders into vehicles at each site.
Thousands of girls in Riverside and San Bernardino counties aim to sell the 1.2 million boxes of cookies starting Sunday, Jan. 26, in a program that “helps girls acquire invaluable entrepreneurial skills,” according to the organization.
Cookie season runs from January to April. Nearly more than 10,000 girls in the two-county region are served by the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio, according to the group’s website.
