Push to sell more Girl Scout cookies
America is excited about Girl Scout cookies. Google is seeing a spike in searches for 'Girl Scout cookies near me,' and other popular searches include 'order Girl Scout cookies online.'
ORLANDO, Fla. - Girl Scout Cookie season is upon us – and the Central Florida council is reminding cookie-lovers that their prices will remain the same.
Boxes of cookies will stay at $5 each, both online and directly from Troops, Girl Scouts of Citrus said in a statement to FOX 35. Girl Scouts of Citrus covers the following counties: Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia.
The group's statement comes after reports that cookie box prices have increased from $5 to $6. They said this is the case for other troops, including the Girl Scouts of West Central Florida in the Tampa area, but not the Orlando-based Girl Scouts.
Each of the 111 councils in the U.S. is responsible for setting its own cookie prices based on the needs and knowledge they have about their local markets, a spokesperson for Girl Scouts of the USA told FOX Business. Cookie box prices typically range from $4 to $7, with some cookies priced higher to reflect the cost of production, like the specialty gluten-free cookie line.
"Girl Scouts of Citrus is excited for our Troops to showcase their entrepreneurial skills selling Girl Scout Cookies this season," Girl Scouts of Citrus said in a statement back in October. "Consumers who purchase directly from our girls and Council will be able to purchase their favorite flavors for the same prices they experienced last year when our season launches in January 2024. When you purchase Girl Scout Cookies you are getting more than a sweet treat; all the proceeds stay local to help power amazing experiences for Girl Scouts in your community!"
Booth sales begin Feb. 2. All sales end March 3.
