Girl Scouts Unveils Its First Dog Treat And First Allergy Friendly Cookie For The 2027 Season

Girl Scouts of the USA is expanding its annual cookie tradition with two historic firsts for people and pets. Girl Scouts of the USA officially unveiled Girl Scout Sparkables and Patch Pals ahead of the 2027 national cookie season. Developed in partnership with allergy-conscious brand Partake Foods and dog-care company BARK, the two new offerings mark the organization's first-ever top-nine allergen-free cookie and its first-ever baked treat crafted exclusively for dogs.

Inside The Two New 2027 Cookie Varieties

Both additions were created in direct response to Girl Scout members advocating for options that serve diverse dietary needs and family pets in their communities. The 2027 cookie additions feature:

• Girl Scout Sparkables: Developed alongside Partake Foods, these crunchy oatmeal cookies are loaded with chocolate chips and dotted with vibrant rainbow sprinkles. Baked in a dedicated facility free from the top nine food allergens—milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, and sesame—Sparkables are certified gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO.
• Patch Pals: Created in collaboration with BARK, these soft-baked dog treats feature a blueberry muffin flavor profile. Each treat is stamped with one of four custom Girl Scout "patch" designs representing iconic outdoor, community, and badge-earning experiences.

Online Exclusive Rollout And Ordering Timeline

Unlike traditional booth staples such as Thin Mints and Samoas, both new offerings will be sold through digital channels.

• Availability Window: Both varieties drop online nationwide on Tuesday, January 12, 2027, coinciding with the official start of the 2027 national Girl Scout Cookie season.
• Ordering Channel: Available exclusively online for direct home shipping via the Digital Cookie platform or through individual troop digital order links.
• Local Impact: Proceeds from digital orders remain local to fund council projects, STEM programs, and outdoor camp experiences.

By making cookie season accessible to allergic eaters and four-legged companions, the Girl Scouts continue to modernize a century-old American tradition.
