Why it matters: The introduction of Patch Pals and Sparkables ensures that all families, including those with pets or food allergies, can now share in the beloved Girl Scout Cookie tradition.

The Girl Scouts of the USA move a lot of cookies. We're talking 200 million boxes annually, which translates to a cool $1 billion. That’s enough to fund a whole lot of adventures for troops across the nation.

But for the 2027 cookie season, they're not just bringing back your favorites; they’re expanding the empire. And yes, that now includes your furry, four-legged friends.

Cookies for Every… Palate?

Get ready for two new additions: "Patch Pals" and "Girl Scout Sparkables." Patch Pals, a collaboration with pet-food brand BARK, are blueberry-muffin-flavored dog cookies. They even sport a little paw print. Because apparently, Fido deserves to get in on the action too.

Then there are the Sparkables, developed with allergy-friendly brand Partake. These crunchy oatmeal cookies, studded with chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles, are free of nine major food allergens. Which means more kids can finally experience the annual cookie frenzy without a trip to the ER.

Both new offerings will be exclusively available online for shipping during the 2027 cookie season. So, while you won't find your local troop leader hawking dog biscuits door-to-door (yet), it does mean that the tradition of Girl Scout Cookies can now stretch to more families, friends, and surprisingly, pets.

Because nothing says "inclusion" quite like a dog cookie that tastes like a blueberry muffin. Let the stampede for online orders begin.
