Girl Scout Cookies® and Learning Life Skills

I am a former Girl Scout leader, but my daughter is still an active Girl Scout. Her troop is raising funds for a trip to D.C. this summer. Thanks to all who support the good work of the Girl Scouts!
That link is dangerous, lol, they have recipes for the cookies!
She wasn't sure what the company names where, she thought Keebler was one on them. I don't care who bakes them, GS cookies ROCK!! YUM!!

They're here, they're here!

The girl scouts were proudly selling them outside of my Harris Teeter this morning. Even though I ordered some from our local scout in the neighborhood, I picked up an extra box of Thin Mints. Oh, and they are gooood!

The thread title reminds me of the restaurant scene in The Blues Brothers where Belushi slides his chair over to the snooty family and goes, "How much for the little girl. How much for the women. Your little girl, your daughters. Sell them to me. Sell me your children".

I don't know why. It just does.

OMG, where aren't they? Please buy their cookies!!!! I can't wait to be able to leave a store without having to say "no thanks" to a swarm of girl scouts.

(And yes, I bought four boxes from a co-workers daughter at the office)

My little neighborhood scout dropped my 4 boxes of thin mints off last night and I promptly put them in the freezer.

The freezer? I've promptly eaten several boxes already...LOL. (Oh, the pitfalls of having a Girl Scout in the house).

So far, I think our troop has sold about 1,500 boxes (we're starting to run low on the Thin Mints, so get them while you can!) Our goal is 3,000 boxes to fund a trip for the girls to D.C. So... eat those cookies and replenish your stash!

Frozen thin mint cookies are the best! They are cold not really frozen solid. Another great snack, frozen grapes! Mmmmm
