Two Girl Scout cookie flavors will be retired after this year, the group says

This year will be the last time two types of Girl Scout cookies will be sold, the Girl Scouts of America announced in a news release Tuesday.

This week also marks the kickoff of the scouting organization's annual “cookie season.”

“The 2025 cookie lineup is packed with all of our most popular cookie flavors, including Thin Mint, Samoa/Caramel Delight, Peanut Butter Patty/Tagalong, and more,” according to a news release. ”.

However, Girl Scouts has announced that two flavors will be discontinued at the end of the season: Girl Scout S'mores and Toast Yay!

A spokesperson for Girl Scouts of the USA told Fox News Digital that the change in membership is not unusual.

“We regularly re-evaluate our cookie lineup to make room for new innovations. By discontinuing Toast Yay! and Girl Scout S'mores, we may be able to introduce something new and delicious.” the person in charge said.

Girl Scout S'mores Cookies were introduced during the 2017 Girl Scout Cookie Season. Cheers, yay! Cookies were first offered in 2021.

No new cookie types were added for the 2025 Girl Scout cookie season, which typically runs through April.

“We regularly re-evaluate our cookie range to leave room for new innovations.”

“Girl Scout Cookie Season is about more than just selling the iconic cookies that people know and love,” Girl Scouts of America Chief Revenue Officer Wendy Lu said in a news release.

Lu also said the money raised from cookie sales is “directly empowering girls' journeys in leadership, entrepreneurship, and community building.” “The incredible success of each sale is proof of how much girls can change the world if they put their mind to it.”

The way Girl Scout cookie sales work today is very different from its origins more than a century ago.

The first recorded sale of cookies to fund troop activities was in 1917, five years after Girl Scouts was founded in the United States.

Over the next decade, Girl Scout cookie sales expanded across the country.

“In July 1922, American Girl magazine, published by the Girl Scouts of the United States, featured an article by Florence E. Neal, a local director in Chicago, Illinois. “Contains recipes for cookies given to Scouts,” the Girl Scouts website says.

Neil suggested selling the cookies for 25 to 30 cents a dozen.

Cookies are currently available for purchase online or through local direct sales, with boxes costing up to $6 in some areas of the country.

The cookies are made by two bakeries, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers, which give the same cookie different names.
