It's Girl Scout Cookies TIME!!!!




Are your tummies ready?

The annual Girl Scout cookie sale has begun. It's been 90 years since Girl Scouts® began selling home-baked cookies to raise money. The idea was so popular that in 1936, Girl Scouts of the USA enlisted bakers to handle the growing demand. Since then, selling Girl Scout Cookies® has become a successful way to help girls develop important leadership skills and earn money for activities.

This year's cookie sale runs from January 24 through March 14.

There are two official bakers of Girl Scout cookies: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers.

The Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles will be going the traditional route, taking pre-sales from January 23 through February 5, with booth sales from February 26 through March 21.

Their cookie offerings this year are:


•Lemon Chalet Cremes
•Trefoils
•Do-Si-Dos
•Samoas
•Dulce de Leche - my personal favorite!
•Thank U Berry Munch
•Tagalongs
•Thin Mints
Their supplier is Little Brownie Bakers.


This year, the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council (which covers most of the Inland Empire) are doing away with the pre-orders and just selling cookies.

Hooray for instant gratification!

The west end of the Inland Empire (Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Mount Baldy, Claremont, Ontario, Montclair, Chino, Chino Hills, San Dimas and Pomona) is represented by the East Region of Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles.

I never knew different regions sold different cookies. Whether you'll be buying Samoas or Caramel deLites, Tagalongs or Peanut Butter Patties, get ready to open up your wallets and your mouths to take in this annual journey into cookie goodness and support our Girl Scouts!
