Well, an answer to that is to think “GREEN”. The Girl Scouts are coming. It’s Cookie Time again. And those good Girl Scout cookies cheer up dreary winter days. Some 6,200 Girl Scouts in Penn’s Woods Council will join with 2,110,- 000 other Girl Scours across the country to bring you these delicious treats. And while they fill your orders, the girls are learning their first lessons about selling, record keeping, handling money, and they are also earning the money that supports their troop activities. So each box of cookies sold. Officially the Penn’s Woods Girl Scout Council Annual Cookie Sale will get underway on January 18. Girl Scouts throughout the six county jurisdiction of the Council will be taking orders until February 2. Delivery of cookies, will be made between March 1 and 16. Mrs. Betty Hensley, General Cookie Sale Chairperson, talked about the quality of the cookies. She pointed out that Girl Scout cookies are made with only natural ingredi- ents and freeze well. This can be an incentive to order additional boxes. She also mentioned that cookies can be used as ingredients to make such tempting * desserts as Minted Brownie Pie, Apple-Raisin Brown Betty and Savannah Toffee Torte. Mrs. Hensley said that public support of the annual Girl Scout cookie sale enables Penn’s Woods to provide camping opportunities to Girl Scouts at a lower cost. In addition, the sales assist i nthe maintenance of the council’s troop camp facility in Hobbie, Camp Joy Lo, and the council’s principal out- door facility, Camp Louise, located near Berwick. Girl Scout cookie sales also strengthen the develop- ment of council plans and further advance the overall Girl Scout pro- gram in each of the areas of Penn’s Woods Council. The Cookie Sale is the only community appeal for money to support these activities. This year the girls will be selling the traditional Scot Teas, Thin 4 Mints, Peanut Butter Hoedowns, peanut butter sandwich Savannahs, and last year’s unique new cookie, the Chocollage. They will also have Golden yangles, the snack cracker made with cheddar cheese, for those folks who don’t want sweets. The price of the cookies is still only $2.00 per box. Volunteers and Girl Scouts are attempting to reach all segments of the community with this annual cookie sale. Persons interested in ordering Girl Scout cookies may contact the Penn’s Woods Council office at 10 S. Sherman Street, Wilkes-Barre, 829-2631, where they will be referred to a local troop. So watch for the Girl Scouts out selling cookies and remember that giving never tasted so good. Buy several boxes of cookies and enjoy, enjoy!
