In select areas this cookie season the Girl Scouts will be selling the new cookie along with all of the classics.

This decadent new treat features rich caramel, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a hint of sea salt in a chewy cookie. Along with the return of the Toffee-tastic, which was introduced to the cookie lineup in 2015, the Caramel Chocolate Chip is an additional gluten-free option in the 2019 collection.

(Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader) spirit as they sell delicious cookies, building essential entrepreneurial and other business skills along the way that are imperative to leadership and future success.
