Girl Scout Cookie Season is Here: Find Boxes Easily in Your Area

Somerset: It’s that time of year again! The Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania just launched their 2025 cookie season, and folks are excited.

These cookies aren’t just tasty treats; they help fund local programs and teach girls valuable skills. This year, you can grab favorites like Thin Mints and Samoas. But heads up, the S’mores flavor will be retired after this season.

Tessa Scherer, one of the cookie chairwomen, shared that there are 134 girls in their service unit. Cookie sales are a big deal for fundraising, helping girls with community projects and fun activities like camping.

Cookie season kicked off on January 7. You can support local Girl Scouts by ordering from someone you know or checking out www.girlscoutcookies.org to find a booth nearby. Starting February 28, booths will pop up all over.

“The girls are busy taking orders now,” Tessa said. “From February 28 to March 23, you’ll find booths at places like Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, and local churches.”

All the money raised stays with the troops in western Pennsylvania, funding camps, trips, and community projects. Patricia A. Burkart, the CEO, emphasized how each cookie sold helps shape future female leaders.

If you want cookies shipped directly to your home, you can visit the Girl Scout Cookie Finder on their website starting February 21. You can even donate cookies to local causes!

Tessa’s troop has big plans, including community projects to spread joy to nursing homes and firefighters. It’s all about making a difference while having fun!
