On January 7, 2022, Girl Scouts kick off the 2022 Girl Scout Cookie Season in eastern Iowa and western Illinois. Consumers can support local Girl Scout entrepreneurs by purchasing their favorite cookies online and in person. Girl Scouts are now selling the new Adventurefuls, an indulgent brownie-inspired cookie with caramel-flavored crème and a hint of sea salt. Adventurefuls joins the whole portfolio of iconic Girl Scout Cookies including favorites like Thin Mints®, Samoas®, and Tagalongs®.
The new Adventurefuls have an incredible taste of adventure in every bite, inspired by the amazing adventures Girl Scouts go on all year long. As the largest fundraiser for girls in eastern Iowa and western Illinois, every Girl Scout Cookie purchase fuels local Girl Scouts’ adventures like:
- Kaelee Wolf and Alivia Isaacson from Bettendorf, Iowa, traveling to Colorado on a backpacking journey through the mountains
- Troop 5875 from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, venturing to the Boundary Waters for a canoeing adventure
- Hundreds of Girl Scouts coming together at the premier summer camp, Camp Liberty, to develop their outdoor skills and conquer thrilling challenges on the high ropes course, zip line, and horseback riding trails
Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls also get a taste of being entrepreneurs and learn important online and offline business skills that set them up for success in life. In 2022, Girl Scouts will have many opportunities to sell cookies in different ways:
- Through the Digital Cookie platform, Girl Scouts customize their cookie website and promote their business on social media, through email, and with QR codes that link customers to purchasing cookies from them online.
- Those iconic order cards have never gone away! Girl Scouts still go door-to-door to take cookie orders from family, friends, and neighbors.
- As a troop, Girl Scouts collaborate to plan and host Cookie Booths outside local retailers and at community events.
Girl Scouts start cookie season by taking orders for cookies online and in person on January 7, 2022. Beginning February 18, 2022, cookie orders will arrive and Cookie Booths will begin again.
If you know a Girl Scout, ask how she’s selling cookies! If you do not know a Girl Scout, visit www.GirlScoutsToday.org. A digital map is available for customers to select a nearby troop to order cookies online. Traditional Girl Scout Cookie flavors are $5/package and the gluten-free Toffee-tastics are $6/package.
