SOUTH BEND, Ind.—The season for buying Girl Scout cookies begins January 11th!

For Girl Scouts, selling cookies teaches them important skills like goal setting, business ethics, people skills and money management.

Proceeds from the cookies also help pay for camp and other activities.

This year, the classic cookie options like Samoas or Thin Mints will be joined by a new gluten-free option this year, Caramel Chocolate Chip.

For those who do not know a Girl Scout personally, the Girl Scout cookie locator app for smart phones or the website can help fulfill those cookie cravings.
