As firm as your resolutions may be for a healthier 2018, it’s hard to resist the Girl Scouts of America’s beloved annual cookie sale, and the virtuous entrepreneurship the endeavor aims to inspire in young girls. From this year’s flavors to where the $800 million in revenue goes, here’s all you need to know about beloved sweet treats.
It’s officially begun
As of Jan. 3, troops of smiling Girl Scouts near you may be selling the confections, the organization confirmed in a press release. However, local councils can host their cookie sales anytime between January and April for a six to eight week period.
Whether you’re partial to the classic Thin Mints, Trefoils or Samoas, twelve varieties are available for sale this year and include modern hits like S’mores, Lemonades, and gluten-free Trios.
You can buy them online
Since 2014, the Girl Scouts have maintained a Digital Cookie platform to connect cookie fans with local councils to purchase the sweet treats from. If you know a Girl Scout, you can support her sales directly on her personal cookie page.
Prices vary by location
Though prices vary by location, you can expect to pay about $5 per box. Prices for the coveted confections have steadily increased in recent years, most notably jumping from $4 to $5 in 2015.
