Girl Scout Cookies went on sale January 11 in 12 different flavors.
The Girl Scouts were founded in 1912; and the first known sale of Girl Scout Cookies was made in 1917. During World War II Girl Scouts sold calendars along with the cookies due to shortages of flour, sugar and butter.
During the normal sale period from January through April more than 1 million girls sell over 200 million packages and raise over $800 million.
Here are the cookies on sale for 2024: Adventurefuls, Caramel Chocolate Chip, Caramel deLites/Samoas, Do-si-dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich, Girl Scout S'mores, Lemonades, Lemon-Ups, Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs, Thin Mints, Toast-Yay, Toffee-tastic and Trefoils.
How much are Girl Scout Cookies? Each of the 111 Girl Scout councils set their own prices. The last time I bought a box they were $5 each. I'm sure they are more by now.
My favorites are Lemonades, Trefoils and Thin Mints. What about you? Have you ever had Girl Scout Cookies? What are your favorite flavors?

Not sure I have ever tried actual girl scout cookies. I have tried knockoffs from the store. My choices would be peanut butter ones and smores sound good.

@MommyOfEli2013 I'm not big on coconut either unless it's a Mounds Bar.

@just4him That's very cool. Our leader got a divorce; and the group was disbanded. :-(

I love the Smores, I never had Toffee-tastic. That is a new flavor I would be interested in trying.

@LindaOHio I thought you meant Samoas. Those are the ones I like.

@LindaOHio usually the scouts stand outside our local stores so it's easy enough to buy them. I remember the "old" days when you had to order them and wait for delivery.
.
I haven't looked but I bet you can buy them online. Everything seems to be available online these days

As far as I know I have never encountered them here so have not had them in ages. I used to be a Girl Scout and sold the cookies. I do not remember which ones I liked best.

I LOVE them!! But they don’t love me at this lower weight, so I’ll skip them. My favorites are thin mints and Samoas.

@LindaOHio — why go door to door when you can post on Facebook…”my kid has Girl Scout cookies available!”

@LindaOHio I have never seen Girl Scouts in Italy, in France (when we lived there) and here in Switzerland. I checked yesterday and I see that the cookies are sold online.

My favorite is the thin mints. Not sure how much they are now. I found mints at Walmart that taste the same

@LindaOHio They probably are. I only give around 2 for the ones at Walmart and get more cookies

@LindaOHio No. They really aren't. I used to love the Thin Mints. I'd put them in the freezer and grab one here and there. The last time I did that I just wasn't all that impressed.

It's just not like it was years ago when I was a little Girl Scout selling cookies. It was safe to go door-to-door. Now, either Mom or Dad or someone has to go with the child, it's just a given.
Those little bitty boxes of cookies are now $6 per box. Honestly, that's a lot. I think I would rather just donate some money to the Girl Scouts.

I know what you mean. Forget the cookies and just donate.

Aldi has a knock-off thin mint Girl Scout cookie that I have tasted before--they are exactly the same. I have also made my own before.

Yes I like them. My favorite is thin mint. I was a girl scout as a young girl and remember selling girl scout cookies around my neighborhood. My Mom also bought some.
