Girl Scout Cookie season is a very visible time for Girl Scouts, and as a representative of the organization, you may get asked a few questions. Below are suggested responses to help guide you. If you do not feel prepared to answer, refer customers to customercare@girlscoutsla.org.
Why did Girl Scout S’mores retire?
We routinely reevaluate our cookie lineup to make room for new innovations. Retiring Girl Scout S’mores has led to something new and delicious – our new cookie, Exploremores. So now this season is extra special since your customers get to try a new Girl Scout Cookie!
Where do the cookie proceeds go?
Troops use their cookie money for activities, field trips, service projects, and more. A portion also goes back to the local Girl Scout council (a non-profit) to support activities for all GSGLA Girl Scouts.
Did the price of a package change?
No. Our core varieties remain $6 per package, while the specialty cookie, Toffee-Tastic, will be $7 per package. Cookies for the Community will remain $6 per package.
Do other areas sell their cookies at different prices?
Yes, each Girl Scout council determines the price of their cookies. Prices vary nationwide, although most of our surrounding councils are selling theirs at $6-$7 a package this year.
Do you have a new cookie?
Yes! The newest cookie in our 2026 lineup is Exploremores. These are rocky road ice cream-inspired sandwich cookies filled with flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond crème. Encourage your customers to purchase a package today!
Can I donate to Girl Scouts instead of buying cookies?
Yes! Through our Cookies for the Community program, customers can donate with cash or credit cards to send cookies to our community partner organizations that support the military, first responders, local food banks, and other non-profit organizations. A donation can be of any size; it does not have to be the price of a package.
How can I get more info about joining Girl Scouts? We would love to have you! Visit our website at girlscoutsla.org; call 213-213-0123; or email join@girlscoutsla.org.
Are you selling cookies online this year?
Yes. With the Digital Cookie online program, Girl Scouts set up their own online storefront all while learning the five life skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Digital Cookie allows Girl Scouts to safely sell cookies online and send secure emails to customers to receive online orders and Cookies for the Community (C4C) donations. Customers pay online, whether they request girl delivery or to have them shipped directly from the baker.
Have the cookies gotten smaller?
No, Girl Scout Cookies are the same size and weight per package.
What do you do with your leftover cookies?
Cookies that don’t go to a customer are donated through the Cookies for the Community program. Many troops give their extra boxes to local charities.
Do you use palm oil?
Palm oil is an ingredient found in the majority of baked snacks sold in the United States, and it remains a necessary ingredient in our cookies to ensure their shelf life, serve as an alternative to trans fats, and bring you the highest quality products, per GSUSA’s licensed bakers. While we continue to explore alternatives, at this time, there are no viable or readily available alternatives. Girl Scouts and our licensed bakers have been members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) for nearly 10 years. RSPO is a not-for-profit organization that ensures our bakers are sourcing palm oil from reputable, ethical, and sustainable producers by auditing farms and decertifying and decommissioning those that are not adhering to these strict guidelines. Girl Scouts’ licensed bakers use RSPO-certified palm oil in their production of Girl Scout Cookies and include the RSPO mass balance logo on their packaging. For more information, visit littlebrowniebakers.com/pages/faq.
Does Girl Scouts have a relationship with Planned Parenthood?
No. Girl Scouts of the USA—which includes Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles—does not have a relationship or partnership with Planned Parenthood.
Does Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles (GSGLA) allow transgender children to join Girl Scouts?
Girl Scouts values diversity and is an all-inclusive organization that welcomes all girls.
Does Girl Scouts have a relationship with Boy Scouts?
No, Girl Scouts of the USA and Boy Scouts of America/Scouting America were founded separately, incorporated separately, and have existed as two completely separate and distinct organizations for more than a century.
Why are the Adventurefuls & Lemon-Ups packages soft pack?
Our cookie company decided to package these cookies in a soft package, reducing the materials used.
For questions that you do not feel prepared to answer, refer customers to customercare@girlscoutsla.org. Customers can call the 1-800 number on the cookie package to provide cookie feedback. Please refer to our website for all FAQs.
