Girl Scout Cook Drive Time!

From a press release sent by the Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines:

It’s that time of year again for one of America’s favorite treats! Girl Scouts are taking orders for cookies through March 14. Get ready to savor all your favorites including, Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Shortbread, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Thanks-A-Lot, Lemonades, Daisy Go Rounds and Peanut Butter Patties!

The price per box is $3.50, and all of the proceeds generated from the Cookie Sale Program stay within the girls’ local area and our 41-county council.

Back by popular demand is the BUY 5 promotion. Customers who purchase five or more boxes of Girl Scout cookies in a single purchase can enter their name in a drawing to win a year’s supply of free Girl Scout cookies from Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines! Six winners will be selected and will be announced in May.

New this year: Girl Scouts cookies can be ordered online. Girls can send e-mail messages to friends and family who can order cookies by replying to the e-mail message.

During the weekend of Super Bowl XLIV, Girl Scout cookies will be sold at thousands of cookie booths from Feb. 5-7.

If you did not have a Girl Scout visit your home or ask you via e-mail to purchase cookies, you can visit cookie booths outside of your local businesses on the weekends from Feb. 13 to March 14. To find a booth location near you, visit the cookie booth locator at www.nccoastalpines.org.

For the sixth consecutive year, the Girl Scouts will be participating in Operation Cookie Drop. Customers can make donations through March 14 Those donations will be used to purchase cookies to ship overseas to military personnel at Camp Lejeune, Fort Bragg, Seymour Johnson AFB, and the North Carolina branch of Give2TheTroops based in Greenville. Since the program first started, more than 221,000 boxes have been shipped to our troops.
