Girl Scouts introduce new cookies

The largest girl-led business in the world is back - Girl Scout Cookie Season is here and will go through March 1.

This year, Rah-Rah Raisins and Toffee-tastic will make their debut in Middle Tennessee. Rah-Rah Raisins take a delicious spin the classic oatmeal raisin cookie with the addition of Greek yogurt-flavored chunks. Toffee-tastic are the first Gluten-free cookie for Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee to offer. They are rich, buttery cookies packed with golden toffee bits bursting with flavor.

"We're excited to welcome new cookies to the pack," said Cathy Ratliff, Director of Product Programs at Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee. "Other customer favorites - including Thin Mints and Samoas - will also be available for purchase as you help Girl Scouts learn skills that will last a lifetime."

All proceeds generated from the cookie program stay in the local Girl Scout council to support girls in Middle Tennessee. Troops determine how they want to spend their proceeds and often use them to go to summer camp, take a trip or learn a new skill.

Girl Scouts will begin taking cookie pre-orders January 1. You will see them at your favorite retailer starting February 8. To find a cookie booth near you visit www.girlscoutcookies.org.
