The two cookie flavors about to disappear from the Girl Scouts lineup may not even be the ones you’ve heard of, unless there’s a Girl Scout in your family.

“At the end of the 2025 cookie season, two popular cookie flavors, Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay!, will be retired,” Girl Scouts of the USA announced in a Jan. 7 press release.

Girl Scout S’mores, based on the classic campfire snack, were first introduced during the 2017 season. Toast-Yays, inspired by French toast flavors and featuring the Scout shamrock, was created in 2021.

“We regularly re-evaluate our biscuit range to make room for new innovations. The attitude of Toast-Yay! and Girl Scout S’mores could lead to something new and delicious,” a spokesperson told NPR in an email.

The cookies sold to fund local troop activities varied widely, with dozens introduced and retired over the years.

Some are still remembered fondly by Girl Scout cookie lovers. The classic Scot-Tea, produced in the late 1950s to 1980s, was a sugar-coated shortbread cookie sold in a yellow box. It was one of the longest-selling cookies that was no longer manufactured.

“One memorable cookie name is the Kookaburras,” wrote Karen Schillings, historian for Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana Council a blog post from 2023. “This cookie was similar to a Kit Kat bar and consisted of wafers covered in caramel and coated in milk chocolate. Although it only existed from 1983 to 1986, it remains one of the most popular among cookie connoisseurs from that era, who long for its return.”

Less desired cookies are the short-lived mango creams with Nutrifusion. These cookies, whose selling points included vitamins, were introduced in 2013 and replaced by Cranberry Citrus Crisps, which in turn were discontinued a few years later. Few remember the friendship circles that were short-lived in the early 2000s. And the less said about the savory, cheesy Golden Yangles and yogurt- and oatmeal-based rah-rah raisins, the better.

Girl Scout Cookies have been around since at least 1917. In the early days, Girl Scouts baked their own cookies. Girl Scout records credits the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, became the first company to sell cookies at a high school as a service project. Sales took place nationwide in the 1920s. The companies commissioned to produce the cookies have also changed several times over the years.

Today, Girls Scouts of the USA sells around 200 million boxes of cookies in a normal year NPR’s Scott Horsely reported in 2023. The organization calls the Girl Scouts cookie program “the largest entrepreneurship program in the world.”

According to the national organization of Samoa, the most popular cookie flavors include Peanut Butter Patties (also known as Tagalongs) (also known as Caramel deLites), and the aforementioned Thin Mints.
