It's a time of year many look forward to, with a chance to chase away the bleak midwinter blues: Girl Scout Cookie Season launches February 2nd in Wyoming and Montana. Area Girl Scouts will start taking pre-orders for Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles and the gluten free variety, Toffee-tastics, according to the organization. They'll also be selling Girl Scout S’mores™, which they say is the the most popular flavor to launch in the 101 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies.

There are several ways you can get your cookies:

  • Girl Scouts will take pre-orders February 2nd through February 18th, with delivery in mid-March
  • Cookies can be ordered online from a Girl Scout through April 15th
  • Cookies can be purchased during Booth Sales March 23rd through April 15th, and during that time you can use the booth-locator at girlscoutcookies.org
  • There's an official Girl Scouts Cookie Finder app, available free for Apple and Android

From the Girl Scouts:

"During Girl Scout Cookie season, each G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ sets out to sell delicious cookies while also building entrepreneurial and business skills that are imperative for leadership and future success including: goal setting, decision making, money management, business ethics and people skills.

All of the net revenue raised—100 percent of it—stays within the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming (GSMW) council. Councils use cookie earnings to power amazing experiences for girls through programming, while girls and their troops decide how to invest in impactful community projects, personal enrichment opportunities, and more."

 

Membership in the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming consists of 8,978 girls and 2,915 adults, and national membership is 2.6 million. If you'd like to join or become a volunteer you can visit www.gsmw.org or call (800) 736-5243.
