Cookie Queens

Four Girl Scouts, ages 5 to 12, chase their cookie-selling goals during a single high-stakes season in this candid, funny, and surprisingly moving documentary — a coming-of-age story hiding inside America’s biggest bake sale.

Director Alysa Nahmias (an Emmy winner for Art & Krimes by Krimes) turns the $800 million Girl Scout Cookie business into a lens on ambition, resilience, and growing up.

The film premiered at Sundance and won the Audience Award at SXSW before landing a theatrical release — with an unlikely pair of executive producers: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, herself a former Girl Scout.
