Support Girl Scout Troop 6000: Helping Unhoused Scouts in NYC
How You Can Support Girl Scout Troop 6000 This Cookie Season
Cookie season is here, and while many of us have our regular troops to support, there's a special group of scouts who could use your help.
Who is Troop 6000?
Girl Scout Troop 6000 serves unhoused scouts living in the New York City shelter system. These young girls face challenges many of us can't imagine, yet they still participate in the time-honored tradition of Girl Scout cookie sales.
Why Your Purchase Matters
When you buy cookies from Troop 6000, you're doing more than satisfying your sweet tooth. A portion of the proceeds goes directly to funding camps and activities for these troop members.
Your purchase brings real joy to these scouts. Each sale gives them a moment of normalcy and achievement in lives that can be filled with uncertainty.
How to Support Them
Finding the direct link to support Troop 6000 can be tricky. Cookie sales in New York City officially start on March 1st, but you don't have to wait to show your support.
You can join their interest list now, ensuring you'll be ready to place an order when sales begin. Getting on this list also shows the troop how many people are standing by to support them when cookie season kicks off.
The Impact of Your Support
Beyond the cookies themselves, your purchase helps provide these girls with experiences that might otherwise be out of reach. The camps and activities funded by cookie sales give troop members the chance to build skills, make friends, and create memories outside the shelter system.
These opportunities can be transformative for young people facing housing insecurity. The confidence built through successful cookie sales and participation in troop activities creates positive effects that extend far beyond Girl Scout meetings.
Join the Movement
Supporting Troop 6000 is about more than cookies – it's about showing these girls that their community cares about them. It's about helping provide stability and joy through the Girl Scout program when other aspects of life may feel uncertain.
Whether you're craving Thin Mints, Samoas, or any other variety, your cookie purchase can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these scouts.
