Girl Scout cookie season is here!
Yes, Thin Mints are back to test our willpower, along with Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, and now… a newcomer crashing the party — the Exploremores.
They’ve got chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond crème — basically rocky road in cookie form. And sure, we had to say goodbye to Toast-Yay! and S’mores, but honestly, the trade’s worth it.
Wendy Lou from the Girl Scouts says this year’s lineup celebrates tradition and adventure — and she’s not wrong. Cookie season isn’t just about sugar highs; it’s the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls. The Scouts earn badges, learn business chops, and keep the profits local.
Eight-year-old Florence Reddick says she loves taste-testing with her troop before sales begin — though she can’t pick between Thin Mints and Exploremores. Her mom says the real treat is how Girl Scouts gives Florence confidence and connection.
Remember, the best way to purchase Girl Scout cookies is by contacting a scout directly. If you don't know a Girl Scout, you can use the Girl Scout Cookie Finder by entering your zip code.
