It’s that delightful time of year again. No, not the holidays – it’s the season for Girl Scout Cookies!

On Tuesday, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) officially kicked off the 2025 cookie season, which typically lasts until spring.

Each box sold contributes to local troops and councils, helping fund activities such as camps, trips, and service projects throughout the year. GSUSA describes their cookie sales as “the largest entrepreneurial program in the world,” providing girls with vital business skills, including goal setting, money management, decision-making, people skills, and ethics in business.

“Girl Scout Cookie season represents far more than simply selling beloved cookies,” stated GSUSA’s Chief Revenue Officer Wendy Lou in a press announcement. “The income generated allows girls to advance in leadership, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. Every sale proves how capable girls are of making a significant impact when they focus their efforts.”

Here’s what you need to know about the 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season.
