Girl Scouts are ready to provide the community with it’s favorite treat as they learn valuable life lessons. This year, Girl Scout cookies will be on sale beginning Friday, Jan. 15. The sale will continue through March 9. In addition to order taking, Cookies-In-Hand will provide these annual taste treats without the wait!
For $3.50 per box, customers can help girls build business skills and financial knowledge as they sell these Girl Scout Cookie varieties, which include: Thin Mints Shortbread Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Caramel deLites, Thanks-A-Lot, Lemonades, Daisy Go Rounds.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls build important leadership skills. Through cookie activities, girls learn how to plan, build teams, speak up, make decisions, solve problems and manage resources. These skills add up so that ultimately, girls learn to be leaders, in their own lives and in our communities.
Girls are the ultimate beneficiaries of all Girl Scout cookie activities, directly and indirectly. They benefit by learning valuable life skills, earning money for their troops and planning how to spend that money to achieve their troop goals.
“Girls also decide what to do with the money they earn for their troop projects. We don’t know of any other youth-oriented activity where the girls themselves decide what to do with the money they earn,” said Connie Frederick, product manager.
If you don’t know a Girl Scout, you can visit www.gsnim.org to find a Cookie Booth near you!
