Girl Scouts Nix Raspberry Rally Cookie After Unauthorized eBay Resales

Girl Scouts will not be selling the popular Raspberry Rally cookie this season after it sparked unauthorized resales online last year.
Raspberry Rally was introduced in 2022 as an online-exclusive cookie, but quickly sold out. It then appeared for resale on eBay for up to $180 per box.
The Girl Scouts expressed disappointment over the resales, saying it deprives them of proceeds. eBay said the resales didn't violate their policies.
Some Girl Scout councils are also raising cookie prices this season from $5 to $6 per box due to inflation.
Cookie sales help fund experiences and opportunities for local Girl Scout troops.
