Calling all cookie monsters. It’s that time of year again – Girl Scout cookie time! (Cheers)
What’s your box of choice? Thin Mints? Do-Si-Dos? Tagalongs?
The Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay (Newark, DE) are kicking off their cookie program Saturday, January 10. The program will run until March 8.
This time ‘round they’ll launch a brand new cookie, Dulce de Leche – perfect for the caramel lovers out there. Also, available are sugar-free Chocolate Chip cookies.
So, get out your benjamins because the Girl Scouts are comin’. And, whether you want to admit it or not, if you’re a cookie lover, you look forward to the season (kind of like Christmas).
If you’re not a cookie lover, think of it this way, you can help a good cause:
"Cookie revenue" helps local councils: (girlscouts.org)
- Recruit and train volunteer leaders for each troop/group.
- Provide the financial assistance needed to make Girl Scouting available for all girls.
- Improve and maintain camp and other activity sites.
- Keep event/camp fees for all members to a minimum.
- Sponsor special events and projects.
And, believe it or not, you CAN maintain your diet. In addition to knowing the nutritional value, there's nothing like sharing with others to get a few extra cookies of wondrous temptation off your own plate.
