Here are some of the Girl Scouts Cookies available this yearLast year's new cookie, the Raspberry Rally, is also missing from the sweet selection. The company discontinued it to concentrate on the classic flavors.
In 2023, fans flocked to try the "sister cookie" to the beloved Thin Mints, which was available only online. The cookies popped up on eBay after selling out on the official Girl Scout website within two months of its release. Single packages went for $25 and up and some sellers were even bundling 20 packages for upwards of $450.
At the time, the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) said they are "disappointed" about the "unauthorized resales,” in a statement shared with PEOPLE.

In the fall, it was announced that Girl Scout Cookies were not exempt from grocery price inflation. An email sent to the Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson Community (GSHH) in New York state informed troops that cookie prices would be rising from $5 to $6 per box.
Certain specialty flavors like S’mores and Toffee-Tastic were already priced at $6, but now classics like Thin Mints and Samoas will join that price tier. (Both S’mores and Toffee-Tastic will stay at $6.)
Not all troops will see the price hike. A GSUSA spokesperson told PEOPLE that all 111 Girl Scout councils set their own prices "based on several factors."
Exact dates for selling season also vary across the country. Girl Scout Cookie season runs from January through April. To find a booth, visit girlscoutcookies.org or text COOKIES to 59618 for more information. Customers who don’t already know a Girl Scout to order from directly can purchase boxes online for direct shipment starting on Feb. 16.
