Girl Scouts Introduces Your New Favorite Cookie: The Raspberry Rally
Rally behind the Girl Scouts and order a box of the online-exclusive cookie today
GARDEN CITY, NY (FEBRUARY 2023) — Girl Scouts of Nassau County is excited to announce the introduction of its newest cookie, the Raspberry Rally®, to sweeten up every cookie lovers’ winter as Girl Scout Cookie season continues through March 15. A “sister” cookie to the beloved Thin Mints®, the Raspberry Rally® is a thin and crispy cookie infused with raspberry flavor and dipped in chocolaty coating.
“Girl Scout Cookie Season is an exciting time for our Girl Scouts. They are thrilled by the launch of our newest cookie, the Raspberry Rally®, which is sure to become a favorite among many for its sweet and chocolaty flavor,” said Randell Bynum, the chief executive officer of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “When Girl Scouts run their own cookie business, they are a part of the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world; connecting with customers, practicing goal-setting and problem-solving, and learning about running a business.”
The Raspberry Rally® is the first in the Girl Scout Cookie lineup to be offered exclusively for online sale and direct shipment only, while supplies last, starting February 27. Raspberry and chocolate lovers alike could also receive discounted shipping by purchasing from a Nassau County Girl Scout’s Digital Cookie site on February 27 and February 28. Discounted shipping is available for purchases of 6 to 24 packages of Girl Scout Cookies.

“The goal is to provide Girl Scouts with an opportunity to strengthen their digital skills and e-commerce entrepreneurship, and to bring joy to all Long Islanders with this new cookie flavor,” said Bynum.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program® returned in communities throughout Nassau County on December 14, 2022, giving Girl Scouts a hands-on lesson in entrepreneurship and business development. For over 100 years, the program has made the delicious and iconic Girl Scout Cookies available to all while empowering, inspiring and preparing the next generation of leaders.

Through a partnership with DHL, customers could purchase boxes of cookies to be sent to active-duty members of the United States Military serving overseas, as well as at the local Marine Base in Garden City, the Coast Guard station at Jones Beach, and other New York military institutions.
In addition to the Raspberry Rally®, this year’s cookie line-up also includes Thin Mints®, Samoas®, Tagalongs®, Do-si-dos®, Trefoils®, Lemon-Ups®, Girl Scout S'mores®, and Toffee-tastic®—in addition to the return of last year’s debut cookie Adventurefuls®.
