Girl Scouts retiring two cookie flavors after 2025 season
Girl Scout cookie season is kicking off this week. But it’ll be your last chance to snag two retiring cookie flavors.
Straight Arrow News
It’s Girl Scout cookies season! The national organization launched 2025 cookie sales last month, and booth sales recently started for Mississippi troops.
Girl Scout cookie season is January through April across the country, and councils will have different sales periods during that time. (GSUSA will offer online sales starting in February in case there’s not a troop near you.)
“Girl Scout Cookie season is about so much more than selling the iconic cookies people know and love,” GSUSA Chief Revenue Officer Wendy Lou said in a news release. “The funds girls earn throughout the season directly power girls’ journeys in leadership, entrepreneurship and community building. The sweet success of each sale is a testament to how much girls can change the world when they put their minds to it.”
What flavors are being retired?
Next year, two flavors will be missing from the lineup.
Classics like Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs are safe, but Toast-Yay! and Girl Scout S’mores will be leaving. According to Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), the retiring flavors might not be available everywhere.
If the retiring cookies are your favorites, don’t miss stocking up this year.
How do I get Girl Scout cookies in Mississippi?
You can buy a few boxes from the Girl Scouts of Greater Mississippi. A Facebook post from the Jackson-based council said cookie booth sales started Friday, Feb. 7.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is about more than merit badges, those those are still part of the experience. It teaches young women about skills like “goal setting, money management, decision-making, people skills and business ethics,” according to the GSUA news release.
You can buy at local booth sales or reach out to a Girl Scout to get their individual online cookie sale link.
You can get more help finding a troop to support in your area online.
After Feb. 21, you can order online at www.girlscoutcookies.org and get cookies brought straight to your house.

JACKSON COUNTY, Ms. (WZTV) — The family of a Mississippi teenager whose body was found after he went missing Fourth of July weekend is now demanding answers.
On Friday, Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump , Rev. Al Sharpton and the family of Wells are holding a press conference to demand an investigation into the teen’s death.
Wells’ body was reportedly found Monday in the water near the end of Horn Island in Jackson County, Mississippi.
Rev. Sharpton opened the conference by stating there are too many unanswered questions to close the investigation into Wells’ death. He says Wells, who is Black, went on a boat with three white men, who returned with Wells’ phone and keys, but not Wells.
“We we’ve been told does not make sense,” Rev. Sharpton said. “There’s just too many questions where they should not be closing the investigation. This does not smell right.”
Attorney Crump leading an independent investigation into Wells’ death.
Investigators are asking anyone who was on or near Horn Island on July 4 to come forward, especially if they saw Wells, spoke with him, heard or saw any type of disturbance or have original photos or videos from the island.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department Criminal Investigations Division at 228-769-3065 during regular business hours or 228-769-3063 after hours.

Mississippi Highway Patrol deployed to Goodman after viral gun video, leaders explain goals
GOODMAN, Miss. — The Mississippi Department of Public Safety has deployed state troopers to the Town of Goodman indefinitely following a viral video showing people waving guns and mocking the absence of police in the town.
DPS Commissioner Sean Tindell and other department leaders flew into Goodman on Thursday to meet with town officials. Tindell said the video drew the attention of both himself and Gov. Tate Reeves.
“We felt like there needed to be a presence of law enforcement in Goodman to send a message,” Tindell said. “That it’s not a town or any town in Mississippi that we’re going to allow lawlessness to prevail.”
Troopers conducting stops, working alongside sheriff’s office
Since Wednesday, troopers have been stopping drivers in downtown Goodman and in neighborhoods. Tindell said the Mississippi Highway Patrol is working alongside the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office as part of the investigation.
“It’s more regular law enforcement duties at this point,” Tindell said. “You know, we’re looking at individuals in the video to ask who they were and go from there.”
Tindell said MHP deployments to towns across the state are not uncommon, and include safety checkpoints, driver’s license verifications and insurance verifications.
“So that’s not unusual anywhere on any given day,” Tindell said. “We just happen to be in Goodman because they needed additional help at that time.”
Mayor supports presence; some residents question it
Mayor Michael Howard said he supports MHP’s increased presence in the town. However, resident Keni El questioned whether the deployment was necessary.
“It really doesn’t change anything because if the people they’ve seen on the video are who they came for then that’s who they need to be looking for,” El said. “Because in a way, it’s kind of harassing the people for stupidity of some younglings.”
El said leaders should instead focus on providing resources to mentor young people.
“The youth need to be taught the right knowledge, right wisdom, right understanding,” El said. “But I’m not going to be afraid of no child.”
Tindell said he is unsure how long state troopers will remain in Goodman but will stay in contact with town officials until a departure date is determined.
