Girl Scout Cookie sales are underway in Cherokee County and across Georgia.

You might see more Girl Scout booths selling their popular cookies this weekend, because National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is Feb. 21-23.

This year marks the last season for the Girl Scout S’mores cookie. The cookie, a graham sandwich cookie with chocolate and marshmallow in the center, was introduced in 2017 to celebrate 100 years of Girl Scout Cookies.

Other flavors for sale are: Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-si-dos, Tagalongs, Lemon-Ups, Adventurefuls, and Toffee-tastic.

Girl Scout cookies are $6 per box.

Cherokee County Girl Scout troops are part of Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. All proceeds from their cookie sales stay in the Atlanta area,

According to Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, profits support three area camps and provide scholarships to attend them, fund activities like the region's largest STEM Expo for girls, ensure background checks for volunteers, and more.

"When you buy a box of Girl Scout Cookies, you do more than buy a sweet treat. You directly support an Atlanta area girl," said Leslie Gilliam, communications director for Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. "That's a powerful purchase and something you won't get with other brands.”

The Girl Scout Cookie sale ends at the end of March.
