With March, comes warmer weather, sunshine, and Girl Scout Cookies. Throughout Girl Scout Cookie season, members of the troops throughout the country sell cookies to generate money to fund their local troops and their endeavors. Profits from Girl Scout Cookie sales are used to fund community events and various activities to grow and learn what it means to be an entrepreneur and leader for others.
Throughout Grand Forks, there are multiple locations where you may purchase Girl Scout Cookies. One way to find Girl Scout Cookie locations is by visiting girlscouts.org. By entering in your zip code, you can find locations where cookie sales are commencing. In Grand Forks, there are booths at Walmart, Rydell, Texas Roadhouse, and Lowe’s.

The importance behind the sales goes beyond just the cookies. By purchasing boxes of cookies, you are aiding in the funding to make Girl Scouts better leaders, entrepreneurs, and well-rounded individuals. Girl Scouts is an excellent way to promote engagement for the young women of our community. Activities, such as summer camps, rocketry, art and design, and environmental efforts, are all available to Girl Scouts to participate in. With the purchase of Girl Scout Cookies, these various activities can gain financial backing so that members may participate successfully. In addition to funding these activities, Girl Scout Cookie sales also teach Girl Scouts the value of money, entrepreneurship, and working throughout a community. Girl Scouts and the various associated activities promote valuable experiences for young women from the ages of preschool to seniors in high school.
Girl Scout Cookies are available in a variety of flavors, including Carmel deLites, Thin Mints, Adventurefuls, Tagalongs and Do-si-dos. Some of the most popular and well-known Girl Scout Cookies are Thin Mints and Carmel deLites, otherwise known as Samoas. Boxes can be purchased for yourself or gifted to others. Cookies are available on the website to ship or be delivered via coordination with a Girl Scout in your area. When checking out online, there is an option to donate a box to local heroes through the “Cookie Share Program.” Girl Scout Cookies go just beyond the sweet treat but extend to help members of the Girl Scout Troops and countless members and heroes in the community.
