Where to Find Girl Scout Cookies in West Michigan / Grand Rapid

As a former Girl Scout, I get excited when I hear it's officially time to get my hands on one of America's favorite seasonal treats.

Every year, Girl Scout Cookie season brings more than just tasty treats—it’s an opportunity to empower young girls and support your community. When you buy a box of cookies from a girl scout in Grand Rapids, Wayland, Holland or any other West Michigan troop, you do more than indulge in Thin Mints or Caramel Delights; you’re helping girls build confidence and learn critical life skills.

Girl Scouts don't just sell those tasty treats- these cookies help girls learn real life skills like teamwork, goal-setting, and financial literacy. Each sale is a hands-on lesson in leadership and entrepreneurship, giving girls experiences that will set them up for lifelong success.

The impact of your purchase goes beyond the girls themselves. Proceeds from cookie sales stay local, funding community service projects, scholarships, and educational programs. Whether it’s a troop organizing a park cleanup, hosting a food drive, or exploring STEM opportunities, each box sold helps make a difference right in your our neighborhood.

Digital cookie sales start now, so if you know a scout personally, you can order them online. If you don't- that's okay! you can make a purchase from a troop near you by using their Cookie Finder. Also- starting February 28th you'll see cookie booths popping up all over West Michigan.

Supporting Girl Scouts also means investing in the future. Research shows that Girl Scouts are more likely to achieve higher education, lead in their careers, and give back to their communities. So, when you’re asked to buy a box, remember: it’s not just a cookie—it’s a way to empower young girls, support local causes, and build a brighter future. That’s a pretty sweet deal.

Can You Remember Your Favorite Girl Scout Cookie growing up?

As much as we enjoy Girl Scout Cookies in 2023, we often miss the ones that we used to love growing up. Have you heard of my personal favorite Girl Scout Cookies that are now retired?

Thanks-A-Lots

Shortbread cookies are always a win. This Girl Scout Cookie was dipped in chocolate and it also had a friendly message on it. It had the words "Thank You" on it.

Ole Oles

These powdered sugar cookies were delicious. They also had pecans and coconut mixed in and were reduced fat.

Lemon Chalet Creme

This was one of my favorite lemon cookies to ever exist. How could a lemon sandwich cookie ever go wrong? The added cinnamon and ginger made it one of a kind.

Juliettes,

I remember that these cookies were named after the founder of The Girl Scouts, Juliette Low. It reminded me of a chocolate turtle with its being covered in caramel, pecans and milk chocolate.

Ra Ra Raisens

This was unlike your ordinary raisin cookie. This Girl Scout Cookie brought in oatmeal and yogurt chips with the raisins.

Savannah Smiles

This Girl Scout Cookie knew how to put a smile on your face. They were lemon wedge cookies with powdered sugar.
