Girl Scouts Announce Historic Additions to the 2027 Cookie Lineup with First Dog Treats and Allergy-Friendly Cookies
The 2027 Girl Scout Cookies lineup expands with Patch Pals dog treats by BARK and allergy-friendly Girl Scout Sparkables by Partake.
Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has announced two big additions to its national lineup for the upcoming 2027 Girl Scout Cookie season. For the very first time in the program’s history, the organization is introducing a cookie made specifically for dogs as well as a dedicated allergy-friendly cookie, marking a major milestone for inclusivity and participation. The two new offerings, Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables, will debut together as online-exclusive options alongside iconic favorites like Thin Mints, Samoas/Caramel deLites, and Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs.
2027 Girl Scout Cookies: Meeting the Needs of Every Family Member
The expansion comes as a direct result of Girl Scouts across the country advocating for a cookie lineup that better reflects the diverse needs of their communities. For four-legged family members, Patch Pals provides a playful way for dogs to join in on cookie season excitement. Developed in partnership with BARK, the dog-centric company known for BarkBox and canine-first innovations, these soft-baked, blueberry muffin-flavored treats celebrate the bond between people and their pets. Each treat features one of four distinct “patch” designs, paying homage to classic Girl Scout experiences.
For households managing food sensitivities, Girl Scout Sparkables brings long-awaited inclusivity. Developed alongside PartakeĀ® in a dedicated facility designed to avoid the top nine food allergens, these crunchy oatmeal cookies are loaded with chocolate chips and topped with colorful sprinkles. They offer a safe, delicious treat for families navigating common dietary restrictions.
While new treats are always an exciting highlight for cookie fans, sweet innovations pop up across the dessert world all the time. These range from seasonal bakery drops like the September Gideon’s Bakehouse lineup to theme park favorites like the Chocolate Pistachio Cookie at the Epcot Food & Wine Festival or special event dining like the Pinocchio Village Haus Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party review. However, few treats carry the community impact of a Girl Scout cookie box.
Fueling the Next Generation of Leaders
Beyond offering delicious treats, the Girl Scout Cookie Program serves as a hands-on business and leadership incubator for young girls across the nation. Through selling cookies, participants build five core life skills:
- Goal Setting: Learning how to set target milestones and map out action plans.
- Decision Making: Deciding how to manage their inventory, marketing, and troop goals.
- Money Management: Managing budgeting, handling transactions, and tracking earnings.
- People Skills: Engaging directly with customers, building confidence, and practicing public speaking.
- Business Ethics: Operating responsibly and supporting team goals.
100% of the proceeds raised from cookie sales stay local, powering councils and troops to finance outdoor adventures, STEM projects, international travel, and community service projects throughout the year.
