A Sweet Tradition
Did you know that the Girl Scouts of Gateway Council supports an amazing community of over 6,000 girls across 35 counties in Northeast Florida? That’s right! And let’s not forget about the bigger picture—nearly 700,000 girls across the country participate in this delicious cookie program every year. The wonderful thing about this initiative is that it goes beyond just selling cookies. It’s all about helping girls develop courage, confidence, and character, empowering them to make the world a better place while learning vital skills to achieve their dreams.
What’s Baking This Season?
Now, let’s talk about the fun part—the cookies! This season, you can grab all the classics like Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs. But be ready for some bittersweet news: the beloved S’mores and Toast-Yay! cookies will be bidding us farewell after this season. So, if these warm, toasty flavors are your favorites, now is the time to stock up!
The Changing Cookie Landscape
As with many things these days, the cost of cookies may see a slight increase. Depending on local council pricing and inflation, you can expect to pay anywhere from $6 to $7 per box. While that might sound a tad bit higher, remember that every box you purchase supports not only your cravings but also helps girls gain life skills crucial for becoming community leaders.
Last Year’s Success and Looking Ahead
Talking about success, the Girl Scouts of Gateway Council had quite a sweet year—they sold over 1.6 million boxes of cookies last year alone! That’s a whole lot of sweetness spread across Northeast Florida. If you’re wondering how long you’ll be able to get your cookie fix, most cookie seasons last between six to eight weeks, so you’ll have plenty of time to indulge.
