Each spring, for a limited time, we partner with Best Buy to offer a curated selection of items that enhance Girl Scouting experiences and are eligible for purchase using Program Credits (formerly called Cookie Dough).

Our 2026 partnership has passed, but look for information in this year's cookie program materials and upcoming e-newsletters for the partnerships planned for May 2027.

Please note: Program Credits cannot be used directly with Best Buy, and all orders must be made through the forms available on this webpage during the partnership timeframe.
