When does Girl Scout cookie season end and can I buy them online?
As well known as the organisation itself, Girl Scout cookies are the integral way of continued funding for Girl Scout troops in the US.
Girl Scout Cookies represent a time-honored tradition that fosters valuable skills in young girls. In 1917, the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, baked and sold cookies in their high school cafeteria. The concept caught on, and by the 1920s Girl Scout councils across the United States were holding bake sales to finance their projects.
Only registered Girl Scouts can sell the cookies with the usual period of the year being between January and April. There is a wide selection of cookies available including for different dietary requriements.
How to buy Girl Scout cookies online
In today’s digital age, purchasing Girl Scout Cookies is easier than ever. You can reach out to your local Girl Scout troop to buy from them or they’ll provide you with a personalized cookie website or mobile app link for your purchase.
For those without a direct connection to a Girl Scout, you can visit girlscoutcookies.org and utilize the Find Cookies! search box to locate online cookie sellers in your area. Buying from registered Girl Scouts ensures that you are directly supporting the troops in their endeavours.
They can be delivered to anywhere in the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and military or diplomatic locations with an APO/FPO/DPO address.
