This Year, Get Girl Scout Cookies From Trans Scouts

Trans kids are under attack across the United States. Starting 2 years ago, I began signal boosting transgender and non-binary girl scouts cookie pages. Lets show these kids our support!

***Important note: Girl scout cookie links will not be available until February 27 for online order. Don’t order in person delivery from these scouts! Bookmark the pages and visit back on February 27, or subscribe and I will send out an alert when they are ready! Please contact me to add your own trans scouts!

If you’re like me, girl scout cookie season is always circled on the calendar. When the time comes, one of the biggest choices we often have is who to buy them from. We look to neighbors, friends with kids, and in some cases, find girl scouts selling their cookies online in order to place our first orders of the year. Starting two years ago, I had a different idea: what if we place our orders from transgender girl scouts?

Trans kids are under attack across the United States. In some states, they are being forced to detransition medically by withdrawing them from their care. In others, they are being banned from sports and bathrooms that match their gender identity. They face extremely high levels of bullying as well as school policies that are being proposed that forbid teachers from using their names and pronouns.

One place transgender people are officially accepted though is the Girl Scouts. The Girl Scouts have accepted transgender girls since 2015. The official policy from the website is: “if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.”

So that’s when I got the idea: lets buy our Girl Scout Cookies from trans scouts! This is my third year doing this, and both previous years were wildly successful - we helped sell thousands of girl scout cookies for trans girls and non-binary scouts across the United States. This year, I reached out to my followers on multiple platforms and found a handful of girl scouts who are either trans or nonbinary who are selling cookies through their Digital Cookie or Smart Cookie pages. These pages allow you to get online orders shipped to you while crediting the girl scouts who sell them and protecting their anonymity.

I will feature and add more girl scouts to this list as well as a twitter thread I intend to maintain. Please come back and check it often and share it widely so that we can support these trans girl scouts. All of the ones shared with me here are trans or non-binary. So… if you want your girl scout cookies, here are the scouts we have so far!

Trans And Nonbinary Scout Cookie Links!
