Top Five Girl Scout Cookies
January 25, 2017
Girl Scout Cookie season is upon us in full force. Whether your little sister is selling or you’re scouring every Wal-Mart for those delicious treats, everyone is enjoying these honored treats. Everyone has a personal favorite when it comes to Girl Scout Cookies, but some are definitely fan-favorites. We’ve made a list of the best cookies this year for your convenience. Let’s take all take a minute to thank the Girl Scouts of America.
- Thin Mints: Truly the king of the Girl Scout Cookie world, Thin Mints dominate during cookie season. There’s no need to feel guilty about buying four or five or even six boxes of these precious cookies, because they go fast. No one can resist that minty goodness.
- Caramel deLites: Who can deny the pure awesomeness of Samoas. Although debates about their true name ensue, there is certainly no debates about their deliciousness. NO doubt about it, these cookies never fail to delight.
- Peanut Butter Patties: A distant cousin of Do-si-dos, these chocolate covered cookies are like peanut-butter-flavored heaven. A true classic, these cookies are a best seller and a favorite of people worldwide.
- Thanks-A-Lots & Lemonades: Back from the grave, these fan favorites proved they weren’t to be trifled with. Last year, Thanks-A-Lots and Lemonades were discontinued but due to the public demand, the Girl Scouts of America realized their mistake and brought them back for the 2017 season.
- S’mores: These new-comers proved they’re here to stay as they took hearts and stomachs everywhere by storm. If you haven’t tried one of these new cookies yet, start looking for a girl scout; they’re selling out fast.

“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

The event has been held for the past two years and is designed to raise money for the baseball program in a fun way. “We’re a baseball team, so people love to compete,” Cuevas said. “So we figured we better do something that gets [their] attention. They want to compete. It’s not a hard sport to do, and we have all different [skill] levels [of participants].” Photo by Henry Mueller](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Henry-715-1200x900.jpg)
