Girl Scouts in Northeast Ohio kicked off the new year on January 1 with the start of the 2023 Girl Scout Cookie Season, a time when consumers can support local Girl Scout entrepreneurs by purchasing their favorite cookies. Every box of cookies sold provides invaluable experiences for Girl Scouts such as service project, troop travel, and summer camp for girls.

New to the lineup this year is the Raspberry Rally™ – a thin, crispy cookie infused with raspberry flavor and dipped in chocolaty coating. Raspberry Rally™ is exclusively offered through digital channels for direct shipping only beginning February 27. 

Girl Scouts in northeast Ohio will sell and take orders in person, and can receive cookie orders through their Digital Cookie® site. Beginning February 27, consumers can enter their zip code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder at www.gsneo.org/findcookies to purchase cookies online from a local troop for direct shipment. And from March 10-26, consumers can purchase their favorite cookies like Thin Mints®, Samoas®, and Tagalongs® at Girl Scout Cookie Booths throughout northeast Ohio.

Every Girl Scout Cookie purchase fuels local Girl Scouts’ adventures throughout the year: exploring what interests them, discovering their passions, and taking action on issues they care about. Whether they’re using their STEM skills to solve a problem, changing a law to help their community, having a courageous outdoor experience, or starting an innovative nonprofit, Girl Scouts build a better future for themselves and the world. And through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, including earning the new Cookie Business badges, girls get a taste of being entrepreneurs and learn important online and offline business skills that set them up for success in life.

“This upcoming cookie season, I’m excited to see how our girl entrepreneurs innovate and take advantage of new technology and learn new, digital entrepreneurial skills,” said Jane Christyson, CEO of Girl Scouts of North East Ohio (GSNEO). “It’s always fun to see the creativity that each girl uses in her cookie program. It’s a reflection of her, her goals, and her desire to create something unique to her – that’s what Girl Scouts is all about, empowering girls to be the best versions of themselves.”
