The two soon-to-be departed cookie flavors leaving the Girl Scout lineup may not even be ones you've heard of, unless there's a Girl Scout in your family.

"At the close of the 2025 cookie season, two beloved cookie flavors, Girl Scout S'mores and Toast-Yay!, will be retired," Girl Scouts of the USA announced in a January 7 press release. 

Girl Scout S'mores, based on the classic campfire snack, were first introduced in the 2017 season. Toast-Yays, inspired by French toast flavors and stamped with the Scout trefoil, popped into existence in 2021.

"We routinely reevaluate our cookie lineup to make room for new innovations. Discontinuing Toast-Yay! and Girl Scout S'mores may lead to something new and delicious," a spokesperson told NPR in an email.

Some are still remembered fondly by Girl Scout cookie aficionados. The classic Scot-Tea, made from the late 1950s to the '80s, was a sugar-topped shortbread cookie sold in a yellow box. It was among the longest-sellers of discontinued cookies.

"An unforgettable cookie name is the Kookaburras," wrote Karen Schillings, historian for Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana Council in a 2023 blog post."This cookie was similar to a Kit Kat bar and featured wafers layered with caramel and coated in milk chocolate. Although it only lasted from 1983 to 1986, it is still one of the most popular for cookie connoisseurs from that era who long for its return."
