LGBTQ+ journalist Erin Reed has published her annual list of transgender and nonbinary Girl Scouts selling cookies. The Buckeye Flame has combed through the list and highlighted Ohio scouts below for you to support – and get tasty treats in return!
There is one new cookie on the roster this year: the “Exploremore.” The Girl Scouts organization introduced the new cooking by saying that “the Rocky Road ice cream-inspired flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond crème will have you wanting to scoop up every last package.”
According to the Girl Scouts website, not only does selling Girl Scout cookies boost confidence and help develop business skills, but the annual cookie sales also helps fund troop activities from rock climbing to traveling abroad.
We only pulled from Reed’s list, so if there are other trans Girl Scouts we should list, please send us an email to editor@thebuckeyeflame.com with a link to their order card and a short blurb.
