Girl Scout Cookie Season may still be months away, but a brownie-inspired cookie is coming. The Girl Scouts of the USA revealed last week that the new “Adventurefuls” cookie will join its national lineup for the 2022 season.
“Available nationwide, every bite of Adventurefuls is full of indulgent brownie-inspired flavor with a combination of chocolatey and caramel flavors, and smooth and crispy textures, for an incredible taste of adventure in every bite,” the Girl Scouts said in a news release. For 2021, a French toast-inspired cookie “Toast-Yay!” joined the lineup. It’s listed on the Girl Scouts website along with Adventurefuls, Thin Mints and Samoas, which are known as Caramel deLites in some areas.
The organization said it recently announced new Cookie Business badges that “help girls think like entrepreneurs as they run their own cookie businesses and incorporate online sales via the Digital Cookie platform.” For decades, cookies have been sold at booths outside grocery and other stores, door-to-door in local neighborhoods, and through family and friends bringing order forms to work to tempt their co-workers.
In March 2020, the national organization suspended door-to-door sales and in-person cookie booths because of the spread of COVID-19 and made their cookie season an online ordering event. The 2021 cookie season also had online sales and sales through “virtual cookie booths” on social media. And to help the resulting pandemic-caused lag in cookie sales, last Spring, Wing, a subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc., delivered cookies by drone for the Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline.
The annual start of cookie season is recognized nationally January through April, but timing and specific cookie availability can vary by region.
