Girl Scout cookies are going on sale. What’s new, where to find them in Lexington.
Girl Scout cookie season is here and there are lots of ways to get your Thin Mint fix, according to the Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road group.
You can order directly from a local scout; online sales began Dec. 15 and in-person sales begin Jan. 1, with the first orders going out as early as Jan. 26.
Look for troop booth sales, which will run Feb. 3 through March 26, on the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, which shows where local scouts will host sale booths.
You can order online and have cookies shipped to your door through the Smart Cookies Platform, abcsmartcookies.com.
New cookie, name change
This year there’s a new cookie, Raspberry Rally, that will be available online only. It’s kind of like a Thin Mint but with raspberry flavor.
Cookie favorites like Thin Mint, Caramel deLites and Peanut Butter Patties are back. Shortbreads return but will be called Trefoils.
All proceeds from in-person and online cookie sales stay local, supporting STEM and outdoor experiences for Kentucky girls, according to the Wilderness Road group, which serves over 8,000 girls and young women in 66 Kentucky counties and one Ohio county. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, according to a news release. Kentucky Girl Scouts participate in various hands-on activities throughout the year that help them feel empowered to shape their own experience, the cookie program being one of them.
