Each year, we recognize our Cookie CEOs—the top five Girl Scout Cookie sellers in Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana! These outstanding entrepreneurs have taken their Cookie Program experience to the next level, demonstrating incredible goal setting, determination, people skills, and leadership along the way.
Congratulations to our 2026 Cookie CEOs:
- Bristol
- Giada
- Violet
- Elizabeth
- Mabel
To celebrate their accomplishments, our Cookie CEOs came together for a special day focused on leadership, learning, and using their voices to make a difference.
At our Chicago Gathering Place, the Cookie CEOs met with council staff and GCNWI CEO Nancy Wright to learn more about how our council works. They also shared some of the challenges they see girls facing today and discussed ideas for how Girl Scouts can help create positive change.
Thanks to our valued vendor partner at Little Brownie Bakers for working with us to create an extra-special experience for our Cookie CEOs. They had the opportunity to learn from industry professionals, explore their creativity, and put their entrepreneurial skills into action. It was a memorable way to celebrate everything they accomplished during the Cookie Program and inspire them to continue thinking big about where their skills can take them next.
Congratulations to our Cookie CEOs, and thank you to everyone who helped make this special day possible!
