Spark Points toggle arrow

In addition to the reward Girl Scouts earn by selling 1-599 packages, Girl Scouts who sell 600+ packages earn Spark Points.

Ignite the spirit of entrepreneurship! Spark Points recognizes the moment a bold goal is set and celebrates major milestones reached along the way. From the first sale to the final box, they honor the fire of ambition, the power of progress, and the brilliance of big ideas brought to life.

Girl Scouts earn the number of Spark Points (SP) at their final earning level, but after 3SP they can mix and match from multiple SP levels when selecting their reward. For example, if a Girl Scouts earns 10 Spark Points, they could utilize all 10SP and choose the Louisville Cavern Adventure OR they could mix and match the points and choose Resident Camp (4SP) and a KodakSmile 2-in-1

Instant Camera Bundle (6SP). Girl Scouts who chose to mix and match SP points are limited to one choice per level.

_{Girl Scouts who earn Spark Points will be contacted by GSKWR via email in April to choose how they want spend their Spark Points.}

The Philanthropist Program invites Girl Scouts to explore the power of giving back through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. This initiative allows girls to see how their entrepreneurship can be a force for good—supporting community organizations that address real needs in their neighborhoods. This year, girls can choose to donate their rewards to God’s Pantry Food Bank — helping feed families right here in Kentucky.

Design Your World Badge Challenge toggle arrow

The “Design Your World Challenge” empowers girls to build financial literacy skills through hands-on budgeting and smart shopping experiences tailored to their age level.

Girls will complete grade-level-appropriate badgework focused on money management, then create a personalized shoppingwish list on Amazon based on a set budget.
Once approved, their chosen items will be purchased and shipped directly to them as a personalized reward for their financial planning efforts.
