The headline speaks for itself: Two Texas Girl Scouts, Iravia Cotton and Rachel Johnson, chased down a horrible person who stole $200 of Girl Scout cookie money from their booth. Iravia punched the guy in the face. Rachel grabbed on to the guy’s car and was dragged as he drove away. You might be wondering if they’re okay, and I kind of think they’ve proven they can take care of themselves. Man, the things girls need to do to earn badges these days!

Someone posted this picture of a Nestlé Crunch Bar on Reddit that, according to the label, is flavored like a Girl Scout cookie known as the Thin Mint. And that on the aforementioned label, this is part of a series of “Limited Edition Cookie Flavors,” which is plural. Which means there might be a whole line of Nestlé Crunch Bars that are flavored like Girl Scout cookies. But for now, all we have is this mysterious sample candy, taunting us … playing with us … making us crave a minty, crunchy chocolate dream … Even the delusion is better than Girl Scout cookie lip balm.

What happens now? Petition? A march on Nestlé headquarters? I will go to Vevey, Switzerland if I have to, if that’s what it takes. I will go to Vevey, Switzerland.

The Girl Scouts of the USA recently revealed results of a study they conducted on how girls view the concept of leadership. As a response, they are launching a new campaign to support leadership development for girls and cultivate future leaders. 

A Virginia church has banned local Girl Scout troops from wearing their uniforms to and meeting at their establishment. I’ll bet you’re wondering why. I’ll bet you’re thinking, “Gee, I hope this isn’t related to something about abortion rights, because Girl Scouts are in elementary and middle school, so seriously, what is this about?” It’s about abortion rights. The church says that the Girls Scouts of America’s “perceived connection” to Planned Parenthood goes against their “message.” Yup. This Chantilly, Virginia church is exercising its rights — to discriminate against young girls.

Some Girl Scout groups of northeastern Ohio will be refusing to sell their eponymous cookies this year. It is apparently a last resort protest tactic, that follows a campaign of petitions, correcting misinformation, appealing to the Girl Scout organization at the national level, and even camp-ins; everything to “[work] through the democratic process.”

What’s the cause that has rallied kids and mothers together alike?

They’d like to keep roughing it when they go to Girl Scout camping sites… and that includes peeing in the woods. Okay, we admit that we posted this because we couldn’t resist the title opportunities.

Comics Should Be Good’s The Line It Is Drawn has struck again! This time it was combining comic book and Harry Potter characters. Here’s Hermione showing up Scarlet Witch and Zatanna thanks to artist Steve Howard. Do yourself a favor and check out the rest but before that, check out what else we saw online today.

They might be in the minority — for now — but the Girl Scouts participating in the First Lego League, an international kids’ organization that promotes interest in science and technology, aren’t going to let being outnumbered stop them from becoming fierce competitors in the robotics field. And these fourth-graders will tell you straight up: “Legos aren’t just for building cute little brick houses anymore, skippy — we’re building some frikkin’ robots.” And then, those fourth-grade girls conquered the world.

They might not be offered door-to-door, but they will be available in stores: lip balm flavored like Girl Scout cookies. If you’re a normal person, your first reaction was probably something like, “Yay, Girl Scout cookies!” and then you heard “lip balm,” and then you thought, “Ew, sticky crumbs on my mouth!” And then you thought, “Wait, Girl Scout cookie-flavored lip balm would eradicate the sticky crumb mouth thing!” But then you thought, “Oh wait, do I really want to smell peanut butter on my mouth all day?” You know, a perfectly logical thought process. But yeah — Girl Scout cookie lip balm. Just what we’ve always wanted!
