100th anniversary of Girl Scout Cookies is here

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – Thin Mints, Tagalongs and Savannah Smiles mean it’s that time of the year.

Girl Scouts Cookies will soon be available. A new addition, S’mores Cookes will help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first known sale of cookies by Girl Scouts.


Think of this while savoring the cookies with a favorite beverage, your purchase helped to give girls the skills they need to become leaders. Through the sale, they learn how to manage finances, build confidence and self-sufficiency.

Initial orders started Monday. Booths will pop up between Feb. 24 and March 26.

One hundred percent of the net revenue stays with the local council and troops.
