Girl Scout Cookies are typically sold locally by Girl Scouts between January and April each year, and you can buy them in person, online, or for delivery.

Quick ways to buy

  • Use the official Girl Scout Cookie Finder on the Girl Scouts website, where you enter your ZIP code to see local booths and online links from nearby troops.
  • Buy directly from Girl Scouts in your area during cookie season; councils note that the season usually runs from January through April, with specific dates varying by region.
  • Order via “Digital Cookie” or similar online links from a Girl Scout or local troop, which can ship to most U.S. locations, including APO/FPO/DPO addresses.
  • Check your local council’s “Find Cookies” or “Buy Cookies” page (many have a “Find Cookies!” ZIP code box) to see booth dates, drive‑through events, and online shipping options.

What’s happening in 2026

  • National cookie season is recognized from January through April 2026, though exact start and end dates are set by each local council.
  • Councils highlight that the 2026 lineup includes long‑time favorites like Thin Mints and Samoas, plus a new rocky‑road‑inspired cookie called Exploremores.
  • One council notes its 2026 program runs with online ordering starting January 6, booths beginning in mid‑February, and ending in late March, which is a typical pattern in many areas.

Where your money goes

  • Proceeds stay with local Girl Scout councils and troops, funding activities like camps, community service projects, and leadership programs for girls.
  • Shipping and handling fees for online orders go to vendors who manage fulfillment, allowing more of the cookie revenue itself to support the girls’ programs.

Example: how you might buy today

  • Go to the main Girl Scouts “How to Buy Cookies” or “Find Cookies” page, enter your ZIP code, and see a list of nearby booths plus links to troop online stores that can ship directly to you.
  • If you personally know a Girl Scout, ask for her individual or troop cookie link so you can order online or have cookies shipped as gifts.

TL;DR: Use the official Girl Scout cookie finder or your local council’s cookie page, enter your ZIP code, and you’ll see where to buy in person or order online (including shipping) during the January–April 2026 season.
