Girl Scouts cookie sales have begun
MANSFIELD - Girl Scout cookies will be for sale throughout the Heritage Trails Council area now through March 14. Girls will be taking door-to-door orders and conducting booth sales at retail locations. Booth sales will run from Feb. 22 to March 10.
Customers can select from All Abouts, Do-Si-Dos, Lemon Chalet Cremes, Samoas, Sugar Free Chocolate Chips, Tagalongs, Thin Mints and Trefoils. All cookies cost $3 per box, and all money raised supports girls in Girl Scouts of Heritage Trails Council, with a portion of the money going directly to the Girl Scout troop.
Last year, troops in Heritage Trails earned about $186,000 for troop activities, such as service projects or trips.
During the cookie activity, Girl Scouts will continue to honor non-profit organizations, the armed forces and uniformed personnel through the Girl Scout Gift of Caring program. Through the program, customers have the opportunity to purchase a box of cookies to donate to Girl Scouts’ selected charity - a solution for those who pass on the treats.
Last year’s program across the state netted more than 1,050 boxes for different community organizations.
The Girl Scout cookie program, an integral part of Girl Scouting’s business and economic literacy initiative for girls ages 6-18, helps girls learn to set goals, communicate, manage money, work as a team, plan a strategy to achieve goals and make and stick to a budget, according to the press release.
