Girl Scout Cookie booths will soon pop up in communities throughout the Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois region now that the cookies have arrived. 

At the beginning of the year, Girl Scouts began collecting customer orders and forecasting sales for the remainder of the 2023 cookie season. Shipments of Girl Scout Cookies have landed locally, and now, troops will begin delivering orders and selling cookies directly at booths outside retailers and at community events.

This year’s cookie varieties include: Thin Mints, Samoas, Adventurefuls, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Lemon-Ups, and Girl Scout S’mores. The traditional flavors are $5/package. Local Girl Scouts also are selling gluten-free Toffee-tastic cookies for $6/package.

The new Raspberry Rally cookie will be introduced on Monday, Feb. 27, when shipping opens up on Digital Cookie. This new cookie is only available through Digital Cookie while supplies last. Customers can also order all of their favorite cookie flavors to be shipped directly to their homes at this time as well. 

At the end of the month, customers can visit www.GirlScoutsToday.org/Cookies to select a nearby troop to order Girl Scout Cookies. Cookies will be available through March 26.

Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts, such as service projects, troop travel and summer camp. From the Cookie Goal Setter badge – earned by kindergarteners, to the Entrepreneur Accelerator for girls in high school, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls financial literacy, planning, budgeting, teamwork, innovative thinking, and confident decision-making.
