Fort Wayne, IN – Have you noticed Girl Scouts selling cookies around town for the past few weeks? Maybe you’re in a hurry or have already spent your grocery budget for the week. But next time a Girl Scout asks if you’d like to buy cookies, take a minute to consider the top five reasons you should always stop and say “yes”:
- Besides being delicious, Girl Scout cookies are American-made at two bakeries – Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers.
- Cookies can last a long time. Each box has a “Use or Freeze Before” date on the package.
- There are gluten-free and vegan options. Or choose the “zero-calorie” option and donate them to service men or women serving overseas.
- You’re supporting girls who’ll be tomorrow’s business leaders as they learn valuable leadership skills.
- The net revenue benefits your local community and makes adventures – camps, trips and other learning opportunities – possible for the sellers.
The cost of a box of cookies in the GSNI-M council is $4. The sale continues through March 4. To buy cookies:
- Contact any Girl Scout
- Stop by a cookie booth; find locations near you by using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder at gsnim.org
- Download the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app on your iOS or Android mobile device and press “Find Cookies Now”
