This week begins one of the favorite times of the year for many: Girl Scout cookie season.
Friday (Feb. 3) marks the first day of in-person booth sales in Arlington. Friends and family order taking by scouts started in December, and orders are now being delivered. Cookies will be sold through March 12.
In addition to the old favorites like Thin Mints and Samoas, a new cookie has been added to the line-up: the Raspberry Rally.
It’s been a bit of an up-and-down few years for local cookie sales. While business started off as normal in 2020, the beginning of the pandemic shortened the season and shifted all sales online. Thousands of boxes were left unsold.
Sales stayed mostly virtual in 2021, at least in Arlington. While business remained down, local troops didn’t let unsold cookies go to waste by donating nearly 700 boxes to the staff at the Virginia Hospital Center.
Last year, cookie sales essentially returned to pre-pandemic operations with booths set up in 15 locations across Arlington County. More than 4 million boxes were sold locally, per the regional Girl Scouts chapter, far exceeding its initial goal of 3 million boxes.
Booths are scheduled to be set up in about 20 Arlington locations this year. Below is the list of Arlington booth locations for cookie sales this coming weekend.
