The 2020 Girl Scout cookie season will end on Sunday, when cookie booths close up for the last time until 2021.
A release from Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington said this year the scouts introduced Lemon-ups, which is a crispy lemon cookie baked with messages inspired by Girl Scout entrepreneurs. They also brought back iconic favorites such as Thin Mints, Samoas, and Trefoils.
While sales last, customers can opt to donate their purchased cookies through the Girl Scouts Gift of Caring Program. Purchases of cookies donated are tax deductible. Over 20,000 boxes of cookies donated from the Digital Cookie Platform are distributed to seniors and people in need throughout the region via partnerships with several social service agencies.
100 percent of the net revenue earned from cookie sales remains with the local region.
