One
case Thin Mint, one case Samoa… Girl Scouts will start delivering
your Girl Scout Cookies to your door starting on February 3rd
and you can stop by a Girl Scout Cookie Booth to get your cookies if
your missed your favorite Girl Scout this year! And while you are
picking up your favorite Girl Scout Cookie, you can donate a box of
Girl Scout Cookies to a member of the armed forces overseas as part
of Operation Taste of Homesm.
The Girl Scout
Cookie program is more than just selling cookies, but has an impact
in girls’ lives by giving them real life skills such as money
management, decision-making, and goal setting... skills they need
for today and tomorrow.
The beneficial
effects are evidenced by the fact that many of today’s businesswomen
cite selling Girl Scout cookies as their first step toward
successful careers.
Community members
can purchase Girl Scout Cookies directly at Cookie Booths in grocery
stores, drug stores, and churches throughout the Delmarva Peninsula
starting on February 9th. For more information call
1-800-YUM-YUM2 or go to
www.girlscoutschesapeakebay.org through March 4th.
Cookies are $3.50 per box.
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
distributed the cookies all over the world. This project gave girls
the opportunity to make a positive difference for our women and men
in the armed forces overseas.
All the proceeds
from this program stay here in the communities the Girl Scouts come
from, directly benefiting all of the Girl Scouts in our community,
including the Girl Scout troop you buy Girl Scout cookies from. In
2006, over 8,000 Girl Scouts on the Delmarva Peninsula
learned money management and marketing skills in the Cookie Program
with over 1 million boxes sold to their communities.
Approximately 19,000 girls participate in Girl Scouts each year on
the Delmarva Peninsula.
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
