FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 20th, 2025
LOUISIANA – Starting February 21st, 2025, Girl Scouts across the state of Louisiana will be setting up booths with everybody’s favorite treat: Girl Scout Cookies!
The Girl Scout Cookie Program has been a tradition for more than one hundred years- the first known cookie sale dates back to 1917! The Girl Scout Cookie Program promotes the growth of 5 skills in our Girl Scouts: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills, and Business Ethics. A lot has changed in the last hundred years, but this has not: Girl Scouts continues to build girls of courage, confidence, and character.
Want to stock up on your classic Girl Scout favorites?
Use our Cookie Finder at www.gslpg.org/findcookies to find a Cookie Booth near you! There’s nothing quite like supporting girl entrepreneurship and stocking your freezer with Thin Mints at the same time!
There are a few new cookies on the block this year- Girl Scouts of Louisiana – Pines to the Gulf is excited to welcome Toast-Yays! (available this season only!) and Caramel Chocolate Chip.
Toast-Yays! are a French Toast-inspired cookie with a delicious icing bottom. Caramel Chocolate Chips are rich caramel and chocolate cookies with a hint of sea salt and, best of all, they are certified gluten-free! Check out these new cookies and all of your favorites at a cookie booth near you.
While Girl Scout Cookies are a tasty tradition, they are so much more than a cookie! Girls learn valuable leadership skills by participating in the Cookie Program. In addition to this, funds generated by the Cookie Program stay local-Girl Scout troops use funds for leadership experiences, educational trips, and community projects. To learn more about Girl Scout Cookies and the benefits they provide to local communities, visit www.gslpg.org/findcookies.
