The wait is over. Girl Scout
cookies are back by popular demand. From now until March 13,
cookie lovers can enjoy the delicious tastes of Samoas with
their creamy caramel and coconut, Thin Mints with its rich chocolate
and mint combo, Double Dutch and All Abouts with their added
punch of chocolate, Do-Si-Do¹s and Tagalongs with their
peanut butter centers, the sweetness of Trefoils, and tarty
Lemon Coolers.
To rev up the
cookie season, Girl Scouts of Nassau County showcased their famous
cookies at Roosevelt Field Mall on Saturday, January 8. Hosted by
Kim Berk of KJOY, the cookie rally was a delight to shoppers, who
were more than happy to buy a box or two from the Girl Scouts. Along
with other cookie personalities, the Samoa cookie character made
a special guest appearance in honor of its thirtieth anniversary.
People of all ages enjoyed the tastes of cookies, sounds of Girl
Scout Chorus, and sights of smiling Girl Scouts at the fun filled
cookie rally. In the 80 years
that the Girl Scouts Cookie Program has been in existence, it has
continuously offered new ways to help girls grow strong. The Cookie
Program allows girls to develop a sense of responsibility and an
understanding of business techniques and processes. Girls learn to
manage their money and accounts when ordering and delivering cookies
for their clients. The Cookie Program also teaches girls to appreciate
and take pride in the work that they've accomplished for themselves
and for Girl Scouts. If you are interested in purchasing Girl Scouts
C ookies and helping the Samoas celebrate its 30th anniversary. contact
