Have you been wishing for those one-of-a-kind cookies that you can only purchase at a certain time of the year? Have you been thinking of Thin Mints? Craving Caramel Delights? Longing for Lemonades? Well, you are in luck because Cook County Girl Scouts will have cookies to sell starting on Valentine’s Day, February 14.
Girl Scouts of Minnesota- Wisconsin Lakes & Pines now offers direct sales, which means you don’t have to order your cookies and wait weeks to get them. The cookies will be here in Cook County, so most of the time when you buy, you receive your cookies immediately if they are in stock.
Cookies are a great way to say “Thank you” or “I’m thinking of you!” of this year, “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
And whether you enjoy them all yourselves or whether you share, buying cookies from a Girl Scout is more than just handing over money for a treat. For the girls, selling cookies teaches goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. All things essential to leadership, to success and to life.
For nearly 100 years, Girl Scouts have been selling cookies, earning money to help support their troops’ activities and to contribute to their communities. And Cook County Girl Scouts are happy to carry on the tradition.
So, look for your favorite scout soon to buy some Peanut Butter Patties, Thanks-A-Lots or Cranberry Citrus Crisps!
