The Most Wonderful Time of Year: Girl Scout Cookie Season Returns!

GARDEN CITY, NY (DECEMBER 2022) — Girl Scouts of Nassau County is excited to announce that its Girl Scout Cookie Program® will return in communities throughout Nassau County running now through March 8, 2023. In addition to making the delicious and iconic Girl Scout Cookies available to all, this over 100-year tradition gives Girl Scouts a hands-on lesson in entrepreneurship and business development. The program is part of the Girl Scouts’ ongoing efforts to empower, inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders.

“Everyone loves Girl Scout Cookies—but the program is about so much more than cookies. Our girls learn how to set goals and explore innovative ways to reach those goals, while building their confidence and entrepreneurial skills,” said Randell Bynum, the chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “When you purchase cookies, you are helping girls power their Girl Scout adventures and community service projects, while teaching them invaluable skills that they’ll need to succeed throughout their lives. Support your local troop by buying a box today!”

Throughout the season, Girl Scouts from communities across Nassau County will be selling boxes of Girl Scout Cookies in-person to family and friends, online by setting up digital storefronts, and at booth sales in front of local stores and community centers. All proceeds from Cookie sales go toward funding invaluable Girl Scouts experiences, activities and initiatives.

With the return of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, Girl Scouts of Nassau County is also bringing back Operation Cookie and Hometown Heroes as its 2023 annual Gift of Caring Program. 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.

“Each box purchased is a new door opened for a young girl in your community; an opportunity for them to explore their leadership potential, practice their creativity, build lifelong friendships and help make the world a better place,” said Bynum.

This year’s cookie line-up includes all the classic favorites—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® and this year’s newest cookie the Raspberry Rally, which will be available for purchase online only starting February 27, 2023, while supplies last, for direct ship only. Girl Scout Cookies can only be purchased from a registered Girl Scout. Customers who would like to support their local Girl Scouts can purchase cookies in-person or online via the Digital Cookie platform that includes direct delivery.
