It's National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend!

Shop for Girl Scout Cookies from your car at drive-through cookie booth--stay warm

BEDFORD, NH—National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is February 27-March 1! To celebrate the largest girl-run business in the world, Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains will hold a drive-through cookie booth at their Bedford headquarters.

Come to the office at One Commerce Drive and the corner of South River Road on Saturday, Feb. 28 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., or Sunday, March 1 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Credit cards will be accepted.

Girl Scout Cookies are great cookies for a great cause. There are seven varieties which sell for $4 a box; all of the proceeds support local Girl Scouts and programs. A new gluten-free option, available in limited quantities, is the buttery Toffee-tastic, at $5 a box.

This annual program teaches girls five essential skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program enables girls to attend camp, have experiences they couldn’t have anywhere else (Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains offers more than 100 programs for girls) and learn valuable leadership skills.

One hundred percent of the net revenue raised through Girl Scout Cookie sales in New Hampshire and Vermont stays with Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains and its troops, so when you buy Girl Scout Cookies you are not only getting a delicious treat—you are also making an important investment in your community.
