Create Toasty Moments of Joy with the 2021 Girl Scout Cookie Lineup!

Looking for a tasty new way to celebrate?  

 

Look no further: Girl Scouts is kicking off the countdown to our 2021 cookie season by announcing the new French toast–inspired Toast-Yay!™ cookie! Available in select areas, each delightful, toast-shaped cookie is full of French toast flavor, dipped in delicious icing, and stamped with the iconic Girl Scout trefoil on top.  

 

Like classic favorites Thin Mints®, Girl Scout S’mores®, and Samoas®/Caramel deLites®, every Girl Scout Cookie helps girls gain the people skills and business smarts they need to take on the world with confidence. 

 

Giving back and paying it forward 

 

The 2020 Girl Scout Cookie season was challenging in so many ways because of the COVID19 pandemic. Yet Girl Scouts across the country stood tall and created countless moments of joy by donating cookies to thank frontline healthcare workers and first responders—and used the cookie earnings to give back and support their communities.  

 

The innovative online platform, Girl Scouts Cookie Care, let customers order cookies for delivery or donate cookies as the pandemic became widespread; all from the comfort and safety of their homes.  

 

In the 2021 season, Girl Scouts will again embrace their entrepreneurial spirit by selling cookies through online platforms and innovative “virtual cookie booths” on social media (with parental supervision). Many girls will offer socially distant or contactless sales and delivery options. If local guidelines allow and it’s safe to do so, in-person sales may also be available in certain areas. 

When Girl Scout Cookie season returns, Toast-Yay! cookies, along with other Girl Scout Cookie favorites, will give consumers a new way to celebrate life’s special moments. And though social distancing measures may keep families and friends apart, cookie customers will be able to share joy and stay connected this season through a giftbox option that ships directly to the recipient of their choice via the Digital Cookie®/Smart Cookie online platforms. 

 

The start of cookie season is recognized nationally in January, but timing and product availability varies locally, so contact your local Girl Scout council for more information about sale dates and specific cookie availability.

The Girl Scout Cookie Care Challenge Is On!

Over the past few weeks, Girl Scouts have stepped up in amazing ways to stay connected, help one another, and make a difference in their communities.

As you probably know, when traditional door-to-door sales and in-person cookie booths were suspended because of COVID-19, we launched the Girl Scouts Cookie Care campaign to encourage cookie fans to buy or donate their favorite cookies online and have them shipped to their doors.

To date, Girl Scouts have sold more than 1 million boxes-SWEET! We’re in awe of the outpouring of support and hope to maintain the momentum until every last box is sold. Will you help us reach the finish line? It's easy. Simply participate in the Cookie Care Challenge! Here's how:

I'm a Girl Scout currently selling cookies. Can I participate in the challenge and sell cookies?
Absolutely! You can join the fun by sharing the green square image on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter; nominating friends, family, and fellow Girl Scouts; and using your own Digital Cookie® link so others can purchase cookies directly from you. Be sure to use #VirtualCookieBooth in your posts!

I'm a Girl Scout Cookie lover or a Girl Scout who ended her cookie sale. How do I get involved?

You can still help other Girl Scouts! Participate in the challenge by sharing the green square image on your social media accounts, nominating others, and including the Cookie Care link to purchase cookies or donate them to frontline workers and local causes in need.

Whether you're a Girl Scout, a troop leader, or just someone who believes in the Girl Scout mission and wants to show support and solidarity, the impact of your participation in Cookie Care is huge. By buying or donating cookies and encouraging others to do the same, you’re sustaining the Girl Scout Movement and bringing joy and comfort to those on the frontlines of the crisis. We’re so grateful!

3 Ways to Support a Girl Scout Near You

Girl Scouts have suspended in-person cookie sales due to COVID-19, but you can still support your local troops.

1. Girl Scouts nationwide continue to sell cookies through the Digital Cookie® platform—including the Digital Order Card and Smart Cookies™. If you know a Girl Scout, reach out to see if she’s participating and if you can buy directly from her!
2.  No surprise, Girl Scouts are getting creative—including by reimagining cookie booths during this time of isolation. They’re using the power of social media (with parental supervision) to make their sales pitch, collect orders, and deliver or donate the cookies when it's again safe to do so. Watch for mention of "virtual cookie booths" that will enable you to support girls and troops that have inventory on hand.
3. Supporters who may not be connected to a Girl Scout or who typically rely on door-to-door and traditional booth sales can visit Girl Scouts Cookie Care to safely order cookies for home delivery (pending local shipping availability) or spread the love by donating cookies to first responders, volunteers, and local causes.

With Girl Scouts Cookie Care, the goal is to mobilize broad support for buying unsold cookie inventory that troops and girls nationwide still have on hand due to the impact of COVID-19. Girl Scouts of the USA is also working closely with impacted councils in other ways to address inventory challenges.

No matter how you buy your cookies, you’ll be supporting local Girl Scouts. And remember: all cookie proceeds stay local to support innovative programming for girls.
