Would you buy a new allergy-friendly Girl Scout cookie this season?
Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast has introduced Girl Scout Sparkables and Patch Pals, two first-ever products for the 2027 cookie season. Sparkables are the first allergy-friendly Girl Scout cookie, developed with Partake.
Why it matters
The new allergy-friendly option widens the range of cookies available to customers with food allergies, while the council's collaboration with BARK extends the program into a new product category. Proceeds from sales support Girl Scout leadership, STEM, travel, outdoor adventures, and community service in southeast Wisconsin.
The announcement is a product-launch notice from the council rather than a measured dataset, and it includes no sample sizes or allergen testing figures. Pricing, production volumes, and the number of allergens the Sparkables cookie excludes were not disclosed.
The players
Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast
The regional council of the Girl Scouts organization that serves girls and families across southeast Wisconsin and runs leadership, STEM, outdoor, and community service programs funded in part by cookie sales.
Partake
A food company that develops allergy-friendly snack products and worked with the council to create the Sparkables cookie.
BARK
A subscription dog-treat and toy company that partnered with the council to create the Patch Pals blueberry muffin-flavored treats.
The details
Sparkables are a crunchy oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles, developed in partnership with Partake. Patch Pals are blueberry muffin-flavored dog treats created in partnership with BARK.
Timeline
The 2027 Girl Scout Cookie Program begins January 12, 2027.
Big Picture
The Girl Scout Cookie Program has long relied on a fixed annual lineup of cookies, so the introduction of Sparkables as the first allergy-friendly option marks a departure from that tradition. Patch Pals extends the program beyond cookies entirely, following the council's pattern of adding new product offerings each season.
Families managing food allergies in Wisconsin may now have a Girl Scout cookie option they can purchase during the 2027 season, which begins January 12. Customers who buy Patch Pals should note they are dog treats rather than cookies, so they are intended for pets rather than people.
The takeaway
Customers with food allergies now have a Girl Scout cookie they can eat, and purchases help fund leadership and community programs in southeast Wisconsin.
