Girl Guide cookies are the major fundraiser for GGC and a time honored Canadian tradition. It is through the proceeds generated through cookie purchases that we are able to provide our girl members opportunities for fun, friendship and adventure by participating in imaginative and innovative programming. Occasionally Units and Groups may identify a need to raise funds in addition to the selling of our Cookies. Prior to organizing or participating in any Fundraising events, please review the following. And don’t forget that you speak with your Commissioner for approval.
