Girl Scout cookie season is back—and it’s time to bake two flavors before it’s too late.
Starting Tuesday (Jan. 7) and running through April, customers can visit a Girl Scout cookie booth in person to purchase all the boxes they want, from the cool crunch of Thin Mints to the gooey caramel stretch of Samos.
Booth locations can be found at girlscoutcookies.org, or you can text “COOKIES” to 59618 for directions. For anyone who doesn’t want to brave the cold to retrieve their stuff, orders can be placed online starting February 21.
Sadly, this season marks the end of the streak for two popular desserts the people.
Later this year, Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay! will stop
s’mores, featuring a chocolate marshmallow in the middle of two graham crackers, and Toast-Yay!, a miniature French toast-flavored treat with a thin coating of icing, have been available since 2017 and 2021, respectively. .
Currently, there is no explanation as to why these flavors are not returning, and no new boxes have been announced.
However, Girl Scout cookie buyers will be happy to know that the originals (Tagalong, Thin Mints, and Samoa) aren’t going anywhere.
In a statement addressed directly to the peopleWendy Lowe, Chief Revenue Officer for Girl Scouts of the USA, emphasized the organization’s excitement and commitment to further educate its youth members about the importance of running a business and managing money.
We’re so excited to kick off Girl Scout Cookie Season – the largest girl-led entrepreneurship program in the world. This popular tradition is an opportunity for girls to develop important life skills such as goal setting, money management, teamwork and decision making.
“Each box of cookies sold helps a girl take the next step toward becoming a confident leader, and sales from Cookie Season help support exciting opportunities for girls and their troops throughout the year.”
All of the income earned by each Girl Scout troop can be put toward a project or donated to a cause of their choosing, but it’s ultimately up to each group what they want to do with all of their earnings.
Girl Scout cookie season has been around for over a century, dating back to the first inaugural sale by a trooper in Oklahoma.
In 1917, troops stationed in Muskogee began selling batches of homemade cookies at lunchtime at their high school. Their hope was to raise enough money to finance their extracurricular activities.
