Girl Scouts are preparing for the start of booth sales as the 2023 Girl Scout Cookie Program comes to a close. From April 1-23, the public can locate booths by entering their zip code on the council’s dedicated season webpage, buygirlscoutcookiesnow.com, and support local Girl Scout entrepreneurs.
Those who may not want cookies for themselves but still want to support their local Girl Scouts can donate cookie purchases to assist community partners. This year’s GSNYPENN Sweet Support Gift of Caring partners are the Food Bank of Central New York and the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. The council gifts cookies to local organizations each year for an annual service project.
GSNYPENN covers 26 counties across the area, including Allegany, Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Oswego, Otsego, St. Lawrence, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, and Yates counties in New York and Bradford and Tioga counties in Pennsylvania.
The cookie season concludes on the final day of booths, April 23, and the local Girl Scout Cookies remain priced at $5 per package. Varieties sold at local booths will include classic favorites like Thin Mints, Samoas, and Trefoils, as well as newer offerings like Lemon-Ups and Adventurefuls.
The Girl Scout S’mores cookie, which was introduced in 2017, has proven to be a hit among customers. It features a crunchy graham sandwich cookie with creamy chocolate and marshmallow filling.
