Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida kick off the 2024 cookie season on Saturday
MIAMI – If you have a craving for Girl Scout cookies, it’s almost that time.
On Saturday, January 13th, the Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida will kick off the 2023 Girl Scout Cookie season in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. The cookie selling season runs through February 25th, while supplies last.
It is the 89th Girl Scout Cookie sales season in the council’s now 101-year history.
Money raised from the Girl Scout Cookie Program stays local to support their service projects, troop travel and summer camp.
“When you buy a box of Girl Scout Cookies you are fueling a Girl’s dreams,” said Chelsea Wilkerson, CEO of GSTF. “From as young as six years old, our Girl Scouts develop all the skills it takes to launch a sales program, set and reach their individual goals through the cookie-selling experience.”
This season, cookie lovers can enjoy the full assortment of Girl Scout Cookies, including fan favorites such as Thin Mints®, Samoas®, Do-si-dos ® and more. There is no price increase this year, most varieties remain at $5 per box and specialty flavors remain at $6 per box.
Cookie booths will be held at retail locations such as Publix, Milam’s, and Winn-Dixie, among others. If you don’t see a booth near you, find one using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder.
Nearly 1,800 girls in Miami-Dade and the Keys are expected to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program this year.

There are two No Kings protests planned for the Treasure Coast; one in Stuart and one in Fort Pierce.
No Kings Day protests are scheduled for March 28, with over a thousand protests planned across the United States.
Organizers say the No Kings events will challenge President Donald Trump as he escalates “his attempts to control us.” Dozens of protests are planned across Florida, including two on the Treasure Coast.
Here’s what to know about the protests.
What is a No Kings protest?
No Kings is a nationwide protest organized in response to President Donald Trump and his administration.
“It is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country,” according to the nokings.org website. “If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken.”
One core principle of No Kings is a commitment to nonviolent action. The organization’s website states participants should seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with dissenters and act lawfully.
