SPRINGFIELD — Girl Scouts in the Missouri Heartland launched their Girl Scout Cookie season days before the national campaign
Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland kicked off the 2023 Girl Scout Cookie Season last Saturday. YOU can support local Girl Scout entrepreneurs by purchasing your favorite cookies. This year the Raspberry Rally cookie will join the nationwide lineup for the 2023 Girl Scout Cookie season. The thin, crispy cookie is a “sister” cookie to the beloved Thin Mints®, infused with raspberry flavor instead of mint and dipped in the same delicious chocolaty coating. This must-have new cookie will be the first in the Girl Scout Cookie lineup to be exclusively offered for online sale and direct shipment only, enhancing girls’ e-commerce sales and entrepreneurial skills. Besides the addition of this new cookie, all your favorites will be available as Girl Scouts will be featuring 10 cookies in the lineup this year!
The program embraces the understanding of the world of business, money management, and entrepreneurship. Cookie Business badges range anywhere from goal setting to learning effective in-person and online sales pitches, using market research, creating business plans, and implementing digital marketing campaigns.
Every Girl Scout Cookie purchase fuels local Girl Scouts’ adventures throughout the year. Whether they’re working towards 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 around them. Running their very own Girl Scout Cookie business gives these girls incredible opportunities, from camping trips that teach them how to be resourceful to STEM projects that inspire them to change the world, these experiences remind them that anything is possible!

We Are Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from community to community, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
