NJ Girl Scouts Get VIP Badge Selling Cookies To Congressman Kim

CHERRY HILL, NJ —Congressman Andy Kim (D-NJ-3) helped local Girl Scouts earn a new patch as they sold cookies at Moorestown Mall.

The scouts from Troop 28105 can now sew on a "I Sold Cookies To A VIP" patch to their vests; Girl Scouts can own this patch by selling cookies to well-now people in the community.

Congressman Kim bought a variety of cookie flavors at the booth, according to a news release from The Girl Scouts of Central & Southern New Jersey.

"The Girl Scout program helps future leaders realize their full potential and teaches them how theycan truly make the world, and their direct community, a better place," Kim said. "Girl Scouts grow young leaders' passion for service while also teaching them critical skills through the Girl Scout Cookie program – the largest entrepreneurship program in the country. I am incredibly proud to support the Girl Scouts and look forward to seeing the girls I met today grow into the future leaders of the world."

The Girl Scouts of Central & Southern New Jersey will celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend this weekend, offering contactless, same-day cookie delivery through a collaboration with DoorDash, a news release said.

Ginny Hill, CEO of GSCSNJ, said the scouts were excited to meet Kim and earn their patch.

"We thank Congressman Kim for his support of our cookie program. Everyone who purchases cookies and supports our local troops is a VIP to us."

This year, the newest cookie is a brownie-inspired cookie topped with caramel cream, called "Adventurefuls." All the favorites, including Thin Mints, Shortbread, Peanut Butter Patties, and Caramel De Lites, are on offer.
