Girl Scouts’ 2025 Cookie Season Kicks Off Nationally, Helping Girls Across the Country Unbox Brighter Futures for Themselves USA – English
Girl Scouts gear up for the 2025 cookie season and celebrate the last year for two iconic cookie flavors, Girl Scout S’mores®, and Toast-Yay!®.
NEW YORK /PRNewswire/ — Today, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) kicked off the 2025 Girl Scout Cookie® season nationally, a time when Girl Scouts everywhere hone their entrepreneurial skills as they find new and inventive ways to sell cookies, unboxing brighter futures for themselves. With the cookie season back in full swing, cookie lovers can rejoice as they indulge in the classic cookie lineup.
The 2025 cookie lineup is jam-packed with the full spread of highly sought after cookie flavors, including Thin Mints®, Samoas®/Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties®/Tagalongs® and more. At the close of the 2025 cookie season, two beloved cookie flavors, Girl Scout S’mores® and Toast-Yay!®, will be retired. Fans of S’mores® and Toast-Yay!® cookies can get their hands on their favorite sweet treats for the last time by visiting a nearby cookie booth or reaching out to a Girl Scout they know for their individual Digital Cookie® online sales link. Availability of the soon-to-be-retired varieties will vary depending on customer location.
When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest entrepreneurial program in the world, they acquire a host of invaluable entrepreneurial skills, including goal setting, money management, decision-making, people skills and business ethics. Each box of cookies sold allows Girl Scouts to develop an inextinguishable entrepreneurial spirit, gaining courage, confidence and character as they conquer new feats and embark on new adventures. Girl Scouts obtain transferable life skills as they earn a variety of badges and awards, including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins and Entrepreneur badges.
“Girl Scout Cookie season is about so much more than selling the iconic cookies people know and love,” said GSUSA Chief Revenue Officer Wendy Lou. “The funds girls earn throughout the season directly power girls’ journeys in leadership, entrepreneurship and community building. The sweet success of each sale is a testament to how much girls can change the world when they put their minds to it.”
This season, GSUSA invites communities around the nation to treat themselves to their favorite cookies—and support the incredible girls behind each box. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with local councils and troops to fuel inspiring experiences for girls throughout the year, including camps, amazing trips, service projects and much more. Girl Scout Cookie season is recognized nationally from January through April, but local timing varies; please support your local Girl Scouts by ordering from a girl you know or by visiting www.girlscoutcookies.org to find a booth near you. Be sure to visit www.girlscoutcookies.org again on or after February 21 to have cookies shipped directly to your home.
