An expected 40,000 girls throughout the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valley's jurisdiction will take orders starting January 16 for everyone's favorite cookies: Thin Mints, Samoas, Trefoils, Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos, Dulce de Leche and Lemon Chalet Cremes.
But this year the Girl Scouts are introducing a new cookie - Thank U Berry Munch - which contains Ocean Spray cranberries.
The Cookie Program Activity is the only girl-led real world business skills development program that grows with the girls. As girls advance through different grade levels, they are challenged to develop new skill sets and meet new goals.
The Cookie Program Activity continues for 10 weeks, concluding on March 28. Cookie booths will open February 28. An online booth locator will be available at this location starting in late February.
All proceeds from the sales ($3.50/box) stay with the local scout units, with only $0.85 going to the baker. The money supports outdoor living activities, financial management, local and worldwide travel, and local community service projects. And the "Cookie Care and Share" program is an opportunity to purchase cookies for troops to deliver to recipient organizations, chosen by local troops.
