It’s cookie time! Girl Scout cookies are on sale now

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties, Caramel DeLites and more! Girl Scouts are out and about in the Cape Fear and ready to sell cookies for their annual fundraiser.

Debbie Todd, the Membership Director for Girl Scouts North Carolina Coastal Pines, and Madeline Fisher, a top selling Cadette, stopped by Good Morning Carolina to talk about what Girl Scouts do and where the money from the cookie sales go.

Last year, Madeline sold 5,005 boxes and donated over 800 boxes to Operation Cookie Drop, which donates cookies to the military.

100% of the net revenue raised through the Girl Scout Cookie Program stays with the local council and troops. Madeline said the money raised in her troop this year will go towards a 10-day trip to England and Iceland.

If you’re debating on what kind to buy, Girl Scout S’mores cookies are back for their second year, along with all of the other favorites.

Participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program is a long-time tradition for girls, families, volunteers, and customers. Girl Scouts use cookie sales to help build powerful leadership experiences and make the world a better place.
