SPRINGFIELD, MO – Cookie Entrepreneurs of the Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland council opened their cookie booths over the weekend. Consumers can now purchase cookies from a Girl Scout at a cookie booth near them.
Editor’s note: There are dozens of cookie booths in the River Region counties of Ste. Genevieve and Perry in Missouri and Randolph in Illinois.
Every year, Girl Scouts everywhere hone their entrepreneurial skills as they find new and inventive ways to sell cookies, unboxing brighter futures for themselves. With the much-anticipated cookie season back in full swing, cookie lovers can rejoice as they indulge in the classic cookie line-up.
The 2025 cookie lineup is jampacked with the full spread of highly sought after cookie flavors, including Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties® and more. At the close of the 2025 Cookie Season, the beloved cookie flavor, Toast-yay!®, will be retired.
When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, the largest entrepreneurial program in the world, they acquire a host of invaluable entrepreneurial skills, including goal setting, money management, decision making, people skills, and business ethics. Each box of cookies sold allows Girl Scouts to develop an inextinguishable entrepreneurial spirit, gaining courage, confidence, and character as they conquer new feats and embark on new adventures. Girl Scouts obtain transferable life skills as they earn a variety of badges and awards, including Cookie Business badges, Financial Literacy badges, Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins, and Entrepreneur badges.
This season, GSMH calls on community members to support their favorite cookies—and the girls behind each box. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with GSMH troops to fuel inspiring experiences throughout the year including camp, amazing trips, service projects and much more.
