Girl Scout cookies have arrived in Tucson with sales kicking off on Saturday.

Truckloads of Thin Mints, Samoas Do-Si-Dos and other classic flavors were delivered Friday afternoon. The new Girl Scouts S’mores cookie and gluten-free Toffee Tastics will also be available for purchase.

Through the Girl Scout Cookie program, girls learn learn money management, business ethics, people skills, goal-setting and decision-making.

Cookies are $5 a box, with 100 percent of the proceeds from the program staying in Southern Arizona to support local Girl Scouting and the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through council-sponsored programs, events activities and scholarships for girls as well as cookie rewards.
