Need your Thin Mints fix? Centre County Girl Scouts are now selling cookies in person

Girl Scout Cookie season has entered a new phase, as sales booths are sprouting across the region.

Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, which serves 30 central and northeastern counties in the state including Centre, began in-person sales Feb. 24.

Several new flavors will be available at the booths thanks to a partnership with ABC Bakers: Lemonades, Toast-Yay! and gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip. They’ll be joined in the cookie lineup by Thin Mints, Adventurefuls, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties and Trefoils, as well as Raspberry Rally (which is making its Girl Scout debut this year and is only available online).

The cookies cost $5 per package. Girl Scouts use money made from cookie sales to fund their “adventures throughout the year, such as educational field trips and community service projects,” the Girl Scout council said in a release.

The booths will be open until March 19, GSHPA said. Find a nearby booth or order cookies online by entering your ZIP code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder.

“This aspect of Cookie Season really exposes girls to skills like money management, business ethics, and people skills. Running cookie booths opens the door for girls to have real-world experiences and provides the opportunity to get innovative and creative with how they sell cookies to customers,” Jessica Mislinski, GSHPA director of product program and retail, said.
