More than 200 Girl Scouts from the five boroughs came out to Barclays Center Sunday afternoon to participate in their annual Cookie Rally.

Girls as young as 5 years old got to enjoy cookie-themed activities and crafts ahead of the 2026 cookie selling season.

"I'm 100,000 times excited," said Riley, from Queens.

“The fact that our girls who are selling the cookies get to learn entrepreneurial skills, financial literary, how to talk to people, how to manage money, how to market, how to sell – is really why we have cookie sales," said Shari Krull, the CEO of Girls Scouts of Greater New York.

Cookie season in New York City officially begins Jan. 15.
