Girl Scout Cookie Booths Popping Up Across Iowa And Illinois

Girl Scout Cookie season began about a month ago in Iowa and Illinois as local girl entrepreneurs began collecting orders for delicious cookies.

If you didn't get a chance to get your order in but Thin Mints have been on your mind, you can buy them at a Girl Scout Cookie Booth near you. These booths will pop up outside of stores, and Girl Scouts could possibly knock on your door or even be at some of your favorite events, trying to raise money and learn entrepreneurial skills.

Girl Scout Cookie Booths Popping Up Everywhere

This is the most wonderful time of the year (sorry, Andy Williams). Beginning February 7, 2025, Girl Scout Cookie Booths will pop up in communities throughout eastern Iowa and western Illinois council.

At the beginning of the year, Girl Scouts began collecting customer orders and forecasting sales for the remainder of the 2025 cookie season. Shipments of Girl Scout Cookies have arrived locally, and now, troops will begin delivering orders and selling cookies directly at booths outside stores, door-to-door in their neighborhoods, and at community events.

By the way, this is the last season you'll be able to get the Toast-Yay and S'mores cookies. Don't do those like the Raspberry Rally cookies mess in 2023, when those sold out quickly on their last season and then were resold for a ridiculous price.

To find a Cookie Booth near you, visit www.GirlScoutCookies.org and type in your zip code. A list of upcoming Cookie Booths, hosted by local Girl Scout Troops, will appear so you can stock up on your favorite cookies while running errands.

If you prefer to have your Girl Scout Cookies shipped directly to your home, visit
www.GirlScoutsToday.org for a map of local troop Digital Cookie links. Girl Scout Cookies are more than delicious treats, they are entrepreneurial juggernauts and building blocks for Girl Scouts to create a more equitable future for themselves and the world.

The proceeds from each purchase stay local and fund their ambitions, putting their cookie earnings to good use. Troops may use the money earned to fund a project that will improve their community or donate the money to a worthy cause. In 2025, troops are even collecting donations of Girl Scout Cookies to give to hometown heroes like military members, first responders, hospitals, and more.

An applicant must answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test. Think you can get at least 60% correct? Let's find out.
