Got the winter blahs??? 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!
