The Girl Scouts sell almost $800 million in cookies each year, but several economic factors have troops shaking up their 106-year-old cookie-selling strategy
Dough, no — there’s a couple of changes coming to Girl Scout cookies that fans may find hard to swallow.
There are 111 Girl Scout councils across the country, which set local cookie prices based on many different factors, including inflation. A spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts told CBS that the decision to raise their Girl Scout cookie prices to $6 a box beginning Nov. 20 is based on “the costs associated with food production, labor and transportation,” for example.
Which brings us to the Raspberry Rally, a recent addition to the Girl Scout cookie lineup that quickly became a fan-favorite. They were described as a “thin, crispy” cookie, with a chocolate coating similar in style to the classic Thin Mints, but instead “infused with raspberry flavor” when they were announced in 2022, and rolled out for the 2023 cookie season at the beginning of the year.
“This was a fun and new way to teach girls omnichannel business skills and expand our cookie portfolio by introducing an exciting new flavor profile to the Girl Scout Cookie Program,” they said. “While Raspberry Rally was extremely popular last year, we are prioritizing supplying our classic varieties” in 2024.
That may be cold comfort to the cookie lovers who had been looking forward to getting their hands on another batch of Raspberry Rally treats, however.
