Girl Scout Cookie Booths Open March 20 Across Montana and Wyoming

Find Cookie Booth Locations Near You with Your ZIP Code 

BILLINGS, MT — March 10, 2026 — Girl Scout Cookie season is one of the most anticipated times of the year for communities across Montana and Wyoming. During this annual tradition, Girl Scouts participate in the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls, building confidence and essential life skills while funding troop activities and adventures. 

“Cookie booths are one of the most exciting parts of the season because girls get to meet their communities face-to-face,” said Briana Rickman, Director of Public Relations and Development with Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming. “Every box purchased helps girls build confidence, practice leadership skills, and work toward goals like camping trips, travel opportunities, and service projects.” 

If you didn’t get a chance to pre-order your favorite cookies, there’s still time to support local Girl Scouts. Cookie Booth sales begin on Friday, March 20, giving customers the opportunity to purchase cookies directly from Girl Scouts throughout their communities. 

By supporting the Girl Scout Cookie Program, customers help girls develop valuable skills such as goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. 

Girl Scout troops will host cookie booths at locations ranging from neighborhood grocery stores to large retail outlets from March 20 through April 12. To find a booth near you, visit www.gsmw.org/findcookies and enter your ZIP code to view booth locations, dates, and times. 

This year, Girl Scouts will offer up to nine cookie varieties at Cookie Booths, including Thin

Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Trefoils, Adventurefuls, Lemonades, the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip, and the new Exploremores™ cookie. 

New for the 2026 season, Exploremores™ are a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie featuring chocolate cookie wafers filled with marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème. The new cookie celebrates the spirit of exploration at the heart of Girl Scouting and will be available at cookie booths and through online sales.  

Most cookie varieties sell for $6 per package, while Caramel Chocolate Chip cookies are $7 per package. The Caramel Chocolate Chip variety may not be available at all booths. 

Customers can also support the Cookie Share program by purchasing cookies to be donated to hometown heroes, food banks, and community organizations across Montana and Wyoming. 

If a Cookie Booth isn’t available in your community, you can still support local Girl Scouts by purchasing cookies online. Visit www.gsmw.org/findcookies to connect with a troop near you or support Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming outreach troops, which help bring Girl Scouting to underserved girls. 

All net revenue from the Girl Scout Cookie Program—every dollar after the baker is paid—stays local, benefiting Girl Scouts in Montana and Wyoming. Troops use their earnings to fund experiences such as travel, outdoor adventures, community service projects, and leadership programs. 

For more than 100 years, Girl Scouts and their supporters have helped make the iconic cookie program a success while building skills, confidence, and community impact every step of the way.

Wind River Canyon Study

Have you driven through the stunning Wind River Canyon lately? This iconic Wyoming route on US 20/WY 789 is a breathtaking drive for locals, tourists, and everyone in between—but it's also the ONLY main path connecting communities north and south of the Wind River Range. When rockfalls, landslides, weather, or incidents close the canyon, it can mean hours- or even days-long detours that impact families, businesses, and daily life. WYDOT, working with FHU, Engineering Associates, and project partners, is studying ways to make the corridor safer and more resilient!

They've just launched a new website to hear directly from YOU! Your experiences traveling through the canyon (the good, the challenging, and everything in between) will help shape recommendations for improvements.

https://fhu.mysocialpinpoint.com/wind-river-canyon-study

Take a few minutes to check it out and share your feedback—it really matters for keeping our communities connected and our roads reliable. Thanks for helping make Wyoming's roads better for all of us!
