- Girl Scout cookies in certain regions are being priced at $6 instead of $5.
- A New York troop raised prices to combat rising production and material costs.
- Local councils determine cookie prices based on various factors, according to Girl Scouts of the USA.
Girl Scout cookies will soon be available for purchase again. However, this year, some regions may experience higher prices compared to previous years.
In certain areas, the cookies that were typically sold for $5 per box will now be priced at $6, as reported by CBS News.
The cost of Girl Scout cookies has slowly increased since 2014, when they were sold for $4 per box. This is due to the impact of inflation on ingredient costs, according to a report.
Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, a New York State chapter, communicated to parents via email that they are raising cookie prices this year to combat rising production and material costs, as stated by CNN.
The email mentioned, “We expect our neighboring councils to announce similar increases in the coming weeks and months.”
A report from the US Department of Commerce revealed that prices rose 0.4% from July to August, primarily driven by a 10% surge in gas prices, as reported by The Associated Press.
Insider reached out to the national office of the Girl Scouts for comment, but there was no immediate response. However, a spokesperson mentioned that local Girl Scout councils determine cookie prices based on multiple factors, and while some councils have decided to raise prices, prices have remained steady in many areas for several years, according to the report.
Certain newer flavors of Girl Scout cookies, such as “S’mores” and “Toffee-tastic,” already had a $6 price tag prior to the recent increase, as reported by CBS.
