The popular Girl Scout Cookies are back in the new year. The 2025 Girl Scout Cookie lineup has a total of nine different flavors. This includes Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, Lemon-Ups, Adventurefuls, S’mores and Toffee Tastic.

“My favorite [Girl Scout cookie] is the Trefoils,” Megan Ellis (12) said. “I’m not sure why they are my favorite, they’re the most bland, but I love dipping them in milk.”

The Girl Scouts program was created in 1917 to help teach girls important life skills. The money each Girl Scout makes goes towards troop activities year-round that members can participate in. The activities permit girls to bond with their fellow Girl Scout members and create everlasting memories.

“I’ve been a Girl Scout since I was a kid, and I think what I like most is the way that the cookies bring people together,” Hailey Stinar (12) said.

Although the 2025 Girl Scout season has many flavors to offer, some will be retiring in 2026. The popular flavor S’mores, a graham sandwich cookie with marshmallow filling, is taking a leave after this year. The S’mores Girl Scout cookie was originally released in 2015 and had great sales throughout the years.

“I’m honestly devastated that the S’mores cookie is being discontinued,” Ava Merryman (11) said.

The Girl Scouts Association tends to retire old cookies to make way for new flavors. Some retired flavors from years prior are Julliettes, Lemon Coolers and Thank U Berry Munch.

Another cookie that is leaving the lineup is the “Toast-Yay!”. This cookie was originally inspired by French toast. The cookie not only has a similar flavor to French toast, but it also mimics the toast-like shape. Currently, the cookie is only available in select locations, but will be removed by next year.

Although the S’mores and “Toast Yay!” cookies are reaching an end, that does not mean they are gone forever. Girl Scouts tend to bring back past flavors every once in a while.

The Juliette Girl Scout Cookie has made a reappearance not once, but twice. First released in 1984, the fudge-coated cookie filled with caramel and pecans only lasted for one year. Eight years later, the Juliette made a comeback from 1993 to 1996.

Discontinued flavors are not the only thing changing about Girl Scout Cookies. Inflation has affected companies around the United States, including Girl Scout Cookies. In 2015, a box of Girl Scout cookies cost customers around four dollars. Today, each box of cookies can cost anywhere from $6-$7, depending on the flavor.

This price change is due to the production costs, which cannot be prevented because of the production costs increase. The only way to earn money back is by upping the price of the cookies.

Many changes are being made in the upcoming year. Whether the changes are good or bad, they authorize new products to make way for years to come.
