This Girl Scout cookie season will be the end of two infamous flavors: Girl Scout S'mores and Toast-Yay.
Why It Matters
It's a time for the Girl Scouts everywhere to home in their entrepreneurial skills as they find creative ways to sell cookies. Famous flavors of Girl Scout cookies include Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Trefoils and Do-si-dos.
The Girl Scouts of the USA started in 1912, a year after she met the founder of what was formerly called the Boy Scouts. The organization is meant to build girls' courage and confidence while making the world a better place. They work through activities like camping and community service to earn awards and badges, with the annual cookie sale earning money for troops themselves. The cookie program is the "largest entrepreneurial program in the world," according to the Girl Scouts.
When Does Girl Scout Cookies Season Begin
Girl Scout cookie season typically takes place between January and April. The Girl Scouts of the USA announced on Tuesday that the season is kicking off today, January 7.
"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."
