Scout cookies available to troops
By Staff
The Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama need your help to send Girl Scout Cookies to soldiers stationed overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyone can purchase Cookies for Troops from a Girl Scout during booth sales at local retailers. GSNCA will coordinate the effort to send cookies to different units overseas.
“Our goal is to send 10,000 boxes to troops overseas,” Hilary Perry, director of communications and advocacy, stated. “Soldiers write back often and tell us how Girl Scout Cookies are a ‘little taste of home.’ People can still purchase Girl Scout Cookies from a booth sale (Feb. 12-March 6) or go to their local service center. To find booth sales, people may visit www.girlscoutsnca.org and click on a link to find cookies.
