Girl Scout Cookie Month Returning To Manayunk In February

MANAYUNK, PHILADELPHIA — For the second year in a row, Manayunk.com is teaming up with The Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania to bring an entire month of Girl Scout cookies events, specials, and more.

During February, participating Manayunk restaurants and bars will feature the famous cookies in signature dishes and cocktails. And a portion of the proceeds will go to the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania’s Girl Experience and Outreach programming.

Additionally, certain businesses will host cookie booths on Saturday afternoons as well.

The month-long event will officially kick-off on Saturday, Feb. 2 with an entire day of deliciousness.

Residents and guests are invited to taste their way down Main Street to try the different dishes and cocktails inspired by the Girl Scouts’ signature cookies.

Money raised during the month will support the Girl Experience: a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun activities like earning badges, going on awesome trips, selling cookies, exploring science, getting outdoors, and doing community service projects.

Every Saturday in February, select stores will host cookie booths from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"The beloved Girl Scout Cookie Program provides girls as young as five-years-old an opportunity to learn important business skills and experience financial independence for the first time," said Kim Fraites-Dow, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Eastern PA. "Through the cookie program, girls not only get a taste for entrepreneurship, they also get to give back by investing the proceeds into Girl Scout programs, camps, and training – learning in the process that entrepreneurship and community-building go hand-in-hand."
