Girl Scouts out and about

NORTHWEST CORNER — Girl Scouts throughout Connecticut began taking orders Jan. 5 for their famous cookies.Proceeds from Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s cookie program stay in Connecticut and directly benefit all of the Girl Scouts in the state, including the Girl Scout troop or group from which the cookies were purchased.Last year, more than 125,000 boxes were sent to service women and men, and this year the goal is to send more. The Cookies for Heroes service project allows customers to purchase Girl Scout cookies from their local Girl Scout, and Girl Scouts of Connecticut, along with community partners, will deliver the cookies to service women and men overseas and at home.Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Dulce De Leche, Savannah Smiles and Thank U Berry Munch will all be available.  Girl Scout cookie fans who don’t know a Girl Scout can log onto www.gsofct.org and click on the cookie picture to connect with Girl Scouts participating in the cookie program in their town.
