In celebration of the occasion, Girl Scouts are introducing the new Girl Scout S’mores cookies.

“We’re combining two iconic Girl Scout traditions—s’mores and Girl Scout Cookies,” a statement on their website read Wednesday.

As a nod to the different ways people “s’more,” the new variety includes two versions: a crispy graham cookie double dipped in a crème icing and enrobed in a chocolatey coating, and a crunchy graham sandwich cookie with a chocolate and marshmallowy filling. The cookies will be the first new addition to the Girl Scout Cookie lineup since 2015.

The reveal also commemorates 100 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies. The new treat will be carried in select markets during the 2017 cookie season.

According to the Girl Scouts website, all of the revenue from selling cookies stays with the local councils and troops. The troops and councils decide how to invest their funds in educational and community projects.

Girl Scout councils around the U.S. will be hosting community campfires Wednesday and night and beyond to celebrate the new cookie release.
