Last Weekend To Buy Girl Scout Cookies!

If you love Girl Scout cookies in the Low Desert region this is your last weekend to buy until 2017!

If you can't eat them, treat them!

A favorite slogan of the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council reminds the public that they can donate cookies to active military personnel and local food banks through the GSSGC I Care program.

Only four days remain in the Girl Scout cookie sale this year. After Sunday, March 13, customers will have to wait until 2017 to bite into another Thin Mint or Peanut Butter Pattie.

Cookie lovers who purchase their last-minute treats from a Girl Scout cookie booth with a Golden Ticket sign have the opportunity to purchase 5 boxes of their favorite flavors for a chance to win some incredible prizes. In partnership with local radio station KGGI 99.1 customers can purchase a box of cookies and upload an Instagram photo with the hashtag #ShowUsYourCookies to be automatically entered into for a chance to win Girl Scout Cookies and tickets to see Rihanna!
