The good news is Girl Scout Cookie Season is officially underway now through the early spring. The bad news – for some – is two cookies will be retired after the 2025 cookie season. Soon you’ll be spotting those little green vests outside the grocery store – or at your front door. For just a few bucks you can support the scouts and get some treats for yourself.
Read on for everything you need to know about snagging some cookies and which ones we’ll be saying “goodbye” to.
How to Buy Cookies
If you know a Girl Scout, the best way to purchase cookies is to order through them or use their personalized cookie website to do so. You can also input your Zip Code here to find a local troop and where they will have a booth set up and when. Individual Girl Scout councils set their own time frame so some may not have started yet, but they should have dates and details for booths you can visit soon.
If you don’t know a Girl Scout and don’t have any booths being run near you, visit the website again starting February 21 when online sales will open.

Why Buy Girl Scout Cookies?
Besides the obvious reason that Girl Scout cookies are delicious, proceeds from their sales also go a long way in helping local troops. Meanwhile, the annual cookie sales help Girl Scouts in developing skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. The money raised stays within the local community to help fund activities from outdoor experiences to community projects.
Girl Scout Cookie Season is more than a chance to indulge your sweet tooth—it’s a way to support local Girl Scouts in gaining life skills and funding meaningful projects. With the news that S’mores and Toast-Yays are retiring after this season, now’s the time to grab your favorites before they’re gone. Whether you’re a Thin Mint loyalist or a fan of the underrated Trefoils, every bite supports a great cause. So, don’t wait—find your local booth or mark your calendar for online sales starting February 21. Happy snacking!
