Beloved Girl Scout Cookie Retiring in 2025

Local entrepreneurs Embrace Possibilities through the upcoming 2025 Girl Scout Cookie Program.

Northern Illinois – Following the theme of Embrace Possibilities, local Girl Scouts will kick-off the 2025 Girl Scout Cookie Program on Friday, January 3, 2025. Young entrepreneurs will take cookie orders in person and offer online opportunities through their Digital Cookie sites for customers to order cookies for shipping, in-person Girl Scout delivery, and donations to the military and community organizations.

The 2025 Girl Scout Cookie lineup includes refreshing Thin Mints® (vegan!), caramel-y Samoas®, peanut butter-stuffed Tagalongs®, crunchy Do-si-dos®, buttery Trefoils®, sweet S’mores®, toffee-chipped Toffee-tastics® (gluten free, too!), and the caramel and brownie-inspired Adventurefuls™. Cookies are all $5 per package.

At the close of the 2025 cookie season, the beloved Girl Scout S’mores cookie flavor will be retired! If customers would like to have Girl Scout Cookies—especially this last season for Girl Scout S’mores—they should tell the Girl Scout in their lives to send them an email from their personalized website as soon as possible.

Girl Scouts do more than sell delicious treats—they’re entrepreneurial powerhouses creating a more equitable future for themselves and the world. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service projects, troop travel, and summer camp. During Girl Scout Cookie season, each entrepreneur sets out to sell delicious cookies while also building entrepreneurial and business skills imperative for leadership and future success. All net revenues raised—100 percent of it—stays within the northern Illinois area.

Nearly 700k Girl Scouts participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which provides vital entrepreneurial skills that build courage, confidence, and character. As a result, they obtain limitless barrier-breaking futures outside the box with transferable life skills. Girl Scouts can also earn badges and awards to develop valuable business skills including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins, and Entrepreneur badges.

Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois uses cookie earnings to power amazing experiences through their programming, while Girl Scouts and their troops decide how to invest in community projects, personal enrichment opportunities, and more. Skills learned through the cookie program also influence later success as data shows more than half (57 percent) of Girl Scout alums in business say the cookie program was beneficial to skills they possess today, such as money management, goal-setting, and public speaking!
