Drive-Through Girl Scout Cookie Sale Will Help Local Troops

The six Girl Scout troops of Bird Elementary School have teamed up to make it easy for local residents to satisfy their craving for Girl Scout cookies, and help girls achieve new things at the same time.

On Saturday, Feb. 2, the troops will hold a drive-through cookie sale in front of their school, located at 220 Sheldon Road at the corner of Ann Arbor Trail.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., eight varieties of cookies will be available for purchase using cash or credit, with girls providing car-side service and parents helping. The girls will offer world-famous Thin Mints, coconut-chocolate Samoas, peanut butter-chocolate Tagalongs, shortbread Trefoils, peanut butter Do-Si-Dos, lemon Savannah Smiles, gluten-free Toffee Tastics and chocolate-marshmallow S’mores.

The troops will also accept donations from anyone who wishes to send cookies to veterans and active-duty military. Anyone who buys five or more boxes, or donates the equivalent amount of money, will be entered to win five cases of their choice.

Each purchase or donation helps fund community service projects, learning activities and camping experiences for girls in Plymouth and neighboring areas served by Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan. Today’s Girl Scouts have many new opportunities for engaging in science, technology, the outdoors, arts, leadership, business, civics and personal growth. Girl Scout cookie sales make it possible for girls of all economic backgrounds to take part.

In addition to the drive-through sale, troops from the Plymouth-Canton-Northville area will sell cookies at local merchants throughout February and into March. To find one, visit http://bit.ly/GSPly .
