It’s Girl Scout Cookie season across the nation, including right here in Illinois.
Girl Scouts of the USA announced the launch of the organization’s national 2025 Girl Scout Cookie season on Tuesday, which runs through the spring.
Proceeds from each box sold stay with local troops and councils, which the GSUSA says funds experiences like camps, trips and service projects. Girl Scout Cookies sales are “the largest entrepreneurial program in the world,” says the GSUSA, and allows girls to learn goal setting, money management, decision-making, people skills and business ethics.

The annual Girl Scout Cookie sale started in 1917, but didn’t become a national event until 1936. The oldest Girl Scout Cookie is the shortbread flavor.
