It’s that time of year again! Here are three reasons to track down a local Girl Scout and sink your teeth into something sweet to support this world-renowned organization.

(1) Try out the new cookie flavor for this year: Mango Crème

Crunchy vanilla and coconut cookies with a mango crème center join the ranks of Girl Scout cookies this year! Give them a shot to see how they measure up to your classic favorites. Here’s a list of the rest of your cookie options, in case you’ve forgotten your old favorites:

- Thin Mints

- Samoas

- Do-si-dos

- Tagalongs

- Trefoils

- Lemonades

- Savannah Smiles

- Thanks a Lot

- Dulce de Leche

- Thank U Berry Much

(2) Check out the new cookie box designs

For the first time in decades, Girl Scout Cookie boxes have changed their look. Rather than simply showing girls having fun, the new box designs give a more complete look at the overall Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Read the box in closer detail as you enjoy your favorite cookie as it showcases badges, details about the Gold Award, skills learned through the Cookie Program, and how girls spend their cookie proceeds.

(3) Put the new Cookie Finder app to use

Cookie ordering has never been easier with the new Girl Scout app for Android and iPhone. The number 1 reason cited for not purchasing Girl Scout cookies in recent years is that people didn’t know a Girl Scout directly and therefore didn’t know where to buy any desired cookies. This app eliminates that problem! Locations can be found using built-in GPS or by entering a 5-digit zip code. Users can indicate how far they’re willing to travel and results will be assorted by location and date. Girl Scout Cookies have never been more accessible.
