The Girl Scouts announce two new treats: Patch Pals for dogs and Girl Scout Sparkables for people. The organization says Patch Pals is designed specifically for dogs, while Sparkables is positioned as an option that avoids nine major allergens.
Multiple outlets report that these cookies will have different availability rules. CNET and The Oregonian both say you cannot buy Patch Pals and Sparkables through the usual neighborhood Girl Scout sale. Instead, the treats are not offered for purchase from local Girl Scout troops in the standard way. The Oregonian highlights that Patch Pals is the first Girl Scout cookie intended for dogs, while CNET emphasizes the allergy-safe focus of Sparkables for humans. Both outlets frame the releases as notable additions to the Girl Scouts’ product lineup, but with limited or restricted sales.
Overall, sources agree on what is being launched—one dog-focused product and one allergen-free-for-people cookie—and that consumers should not expect to find them from a typical local Girl Scout booth.
