Girl Scout cookie sale under way

Girl Scouts and cookies share a rich history. While recipes and box designs have changed, selling cookies remains an important part of today's Girl Scout program.

The activity of selling cookies is directly related to the Girl Scout purpose of helping all girls realize their full potential and become strong, confident, and resourceful citizens.

Girl Scouts practice life skills like goal setting, money management, and teamwork- and they have fun!

Customers get a great product and get to support girls in their own community.

All of the proceeds support Girl Scouting in the local community.

Many successful business women today say they got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies.

Girls practice useful life skills like planning, decision making, and customer service.

During cookie activities, girls are members of a team working towards a common goal, with each girl striving to do her best.

Girl Scout Troop #164 will be at Brookshire's in Whitehouse on Saturday, Feb. 17 beginning at 8 a.m.
