PhillyVoice<\/a>.<\/p>\nA First-Ever Treat for Dogs<\/p>\n
Patch Pals marks the first time Girl Scouts has sold a product designed for pets. The treats are blueberry muffin-flavored and soft-baked.<\/p>\n
Each one features one of four designs drawn from the Girl Scout patch tradition, representing different scouting experiences.<\/p>\n
The product was developed in partnership with BARK, the dog subscription box company.<\/p>\n
Allergy-Friendly Sparkables<\/p>\n
Sparkables are the organization’s first cookie built for people with food allergies.<\/p>\n
They are crunchy oatmeal rounds with chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles, made in a facility designed to keep out all nine major allergens recognized by federal guidelines: peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, wheat, milk, soy, sesame, fish, and shellfish.<\/p>\n
Girl Scouts developed Sparkables with Partake, a brand that specializes in allergy-friendly baked goods.<\/p>\n
Online Only, Shipped Directly<\/p>\n
Neither product will be available at the cookie booths or door-to-door sales that Northeast Philadelphia residents are used to seeing each winter.<\/p>\n
Both Patch Pals and Sparkables ship exclusively through the Girl Scouts’ online ordering platform.<\/p>\n
The national cookie season runs January through April each year, though local councils set their own specific windows.<\/p>\n
Buyers can enter their ZIP code on the Girl Scouts website to find dates for their council.<\/p>\n
The cookie program is designed to help members build entrepreneurial skills, from sales planning to money management, as the organization notes on its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stock photo via Pexels Two new items are joining the Girl Scout cookie lineup for 2027, and neither…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-281536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
