Availability may vary by local council: Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania said it would begin selling the new cookies and its regular lineup on Jan. 21, 2027, with proceeds supporting programming for about 25,000 local Girl Scouts through late March.
Girl Scouts of the USA is breaking tradition in 2027 by adding two unexpected treats to its iconic lineup: Sparkables, a crunchy oatmeal cookie designed for people with food allergies, and Patch Pals, the organization's first treat made specifically for dogs. Girl Scouts of the USA announced both products will launch nationally on January 12, 2027, sold exclusively online.
Sparkables are nut-free, gluten-free, and vegan cookies developed with Partake in a facility that avoids all nine major food allergens. Patch Pals, created with pet brand BARK, are soft-baked blueberry-muffin treats shaped like Girl Scout merit patches. KSN reports prices will be $7 for Sparkables and $9 for Patch Pals.
Sparkables Target the Allergy-Conscious Market
Sparkables address a growing demand for inclusive treats. The cookies are oatmeal-based with chocolate chips and sprinkles, created free from milk, eggs, sesame, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, crustacean shellfish, and fish. Daily Voice notes this marks a major step toward accessibility in Girl Scout's traditionally allergen-heavy lineup.
The development through Partake, a brand specializing in allergy-friendly baked goods, ensures production in a dedicated facility. This dedicated space eliminates cross-contamination risks, making them safe for customers with multiple food sensitivities.
Patch Pals Bring Girl Scouting to Your Furry Friend
Patch Pals are the first Girl Scout product designed entirely for dogs, created through a partnership with BARK, a dog-focused consumer brand. The soft-baked treats feature a blueberry-muffin flavor and come molded as four different patch designs inspired by iconic Girl Scout experiences and the merit badges worn on scout vests.
WFAA reports the dog treats represent Girl Scouts' expansion beyond human customers. The novelty product lets pet owners involve their dogs in Girl Scout traditions while supporting the organization's programming.
Online-Only Sales and Regional Availability Begin January
Both Sparkables and Patch Pals will be sold exclusively online for direct shipping starting January 12, 2027. KSN confirms this distribution method differs from traditional Girl Scout cookie sales, which typically happen through local troops and community events.
Local availability may vary. Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania announced it will begin selling the new products and its regular lineup on January 21, 2027, with proceeds supporting programming for about 25,000 local scouts through late March. The new additions follow Exploremores, which debuted as the most recent cookie addition during the 2026 season.
