Since 2003, Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay Council Operation
Taste of Homesm has provided over 90,000 boxes of the Girl Scout
cookies to our Armed Forces overseas via the USO thanks to the
generosity of the community. Our goal in 2007 is 40,000 boxes;
please help us make it. The USO located at Dover Air Force Base
distributes the cookies all over the world. This project gives girls
the opportunity to make a positive difference for our women and men
in the armed forces overseas.
Girl Scouting builds girls of confidence, courage, and character,
who make the world a better place. We do that by providing girls
with personal leadership development and programs that build real
life skills for the real world. To learn more about Girl Scouts of
the Chesapeake Bay Council, visit
