Girl Scouts of the USA debuts Patch Pals, its first dog cookie, and Girl Scout Sparkables, its first allergy-friendly cookie, ahead of the 2027 Cookie Season
The new cookies, developed with BARK and Partake®, will be available exclusively online for shipping only during the 2027 Girl Scout Cookie® season, expanding how families, friends and four-legged companions can take part in the fun of the Girl Scout Cookie Program®.
On Sept. 8, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) unveiled two first-of-their-kind additions to the national 2027 Girl Scout Cookie® lineup. Patch Pals,, developed with BARK, and Girl Scout Sparkables, developed with Partake, will debut together as the first cookie created just for dogs and the first allergy-friendly cookie. The online exclusive offerings will join beloved classics like Thin Mints®, Samoas® and Tagalongs®, according to a news release from Girl Scouts Historic Georgia.
Inspired by Girl Scouts around the country who have advocated for expanding the cookie lineup to meet the diverse needs of their communities, Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables offer new ways for more girls, families and pets to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
For four-legged family members, Patch Pals offer a playful new way to take part in the fun. Developed with BARK the dog-obsessed company on a mission to make all dogs happy, and inspired by Girl Scouts’ deep love for their dogs, the soft-baked, blueberry muffin-flavored dog cookies celebrate the bond between people and their pups. Each dog cookie has been baked to feature one of four “patch” designs, representing iconic Girl Scout experiences.
Girl Scout Sparkables bring a new level of inclusivity to the Girl Scout Cookie portfolio as its first-ever cookie developed for families navigating certain food allergies. Developed with Partake in a facility designed to avoid the nine major food allergens, the crunchy oatmeal cookie features chocolate chips and is dotted with colorful sprinkles, giving families navigating the most common food allergies a way to feel more included during Girl Scout Cookie season.
Each year, girls discover their power as they utilize their innate sense of curiosity to unlock wonderful adventures and experiences through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Along the way, they develop essential life skills, including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics, while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and what they care about. Every cookie box purchase helps fuel life-changing experiences for Girl Scouts throughout the year, from outdoor adventures and travel opportunities to community service projects, STEM exploration and leadership development. All proceeds stay local to support Girl Scout councils and troops.
Girl Scout Cookie season is recognized nationally from January through April, local dates for Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia are December 14, 2026-March 7, 2027. Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables will be available exclusively online for direct shipping beginning January 12, 2027, with the national launch of the 2027 cookie season.
