Date: Mon Feb 4, 2013 Time: 9a- 3p Location: Crumpton Fire House
Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay began taking orders for Girl Scout Cookies and Snack Bars on Saturday, January 5, 2013. This year local Girl Scouts will offer the six varieties – Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Do-si-dos, and Savannah Smiles. We are excited to announce that during the 2013 Girl Scout Cookie Program, Girl Scouts in our council will be piloting a new program to sell the new Girl Scout Snack Bars along with the cookies. Little Brownie Bakers, the same people who make our Girl Scout Cookies, have created two varieties of Girl Scout Snack Bars – Tagalongs and Double Dutch. We will have a limited amount of snack bars available.
Cookie booth sales will begin on Friday, February 8, 2013, at local businesses throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. Girls are also taking donations of Girl Scout cookies for Operation Taste of Home and local community groups. The Operation Taste of Home cookies will be donated to our Armed Forces and local agencies, such as food banks and pantries, blood banks, cancer centers and youth programs
Cookies and Snack Bars are $4.00 per box. Individuals interested in purchasing cookies or snack bars and to donate cookies to Operation Taste of Home please call the Cookie Hotline at 1-800-YUM-YUM2. To locate a cookie booth sale in your area go to www.GSCB.org
The Girl Scouts Cookie Program is about more than just great tasting cookies. By participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program girls learn 5 skills that last into adulthood such as goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics. Every girl is encouraged to set and work toward achieving both a team and personal goal. It also raises funds to support Troop and Council activities. The benefits of the Cookie Program have been hailed by many of today’s businesswomen, who cite selling Girl Scout Cookies was their first step toward successful careers.
A leading advocate for and expert on girls, the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay builds girls of courage, confidence and character by providing personal leadership development and programs that teach skills for the real world. The Council serves approximately 12,000 girls in grades K-12 across the Delmarva Peninsula. Approximately 5,000 adult volunteers support the Council in various mentoring and leadership positions.

This is bad news for me, both Financially and Health wise… I’m a Diabetic, and I go broke when they have are offered…Oh well, If I have to go, I’d rather go with a Smile on my face from eating Sweets!

You are awesome for supporting girl scouts! Remember, the cookies freeze well so you can put them deep in the freezer and it is more work to get them out (burn calories). Thank you and thank you again! We are growing great leaders for our future!
