Got cookies? Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana ready to deliver thousands of boxes

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- It's officially Girl Scout cookie season. Thin mints, Samoas and Tagalongs are ready for delivery in Louisville.

Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana started delivering cookies Thursday as they picked up orders from the Girl Scout Warehouse on Bluegrass Parkway. Hundreds of volunteers are now taking the cookies to 64 counties in western Kentucky and southern Indiana. The warehouse will move more than one million boxes of cookies by the end of the Cookie Program.

Kacee Sanchez, an 11th grade Girl Scout Ambassador and Board Member for Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana, said selling cookies is good experience.

"Not only in Girl Scouts but in cookie delivery and cookie selling, you learn money management, you learn communication, you learn really anything," she said. "I've learned a lot, and it's achieved what I do now today."

Cookies are $6 a box for most flavors and $7 a box for Toffee-tastic and S'mores. Girl Scout troops will host cookie booths in local communities from March 25 through April 24.

The public can search for scheduled cookie booth sites at www.girlscoutcookies.org. Starting Feb. 21, buyers can use the Cookie Finder website to find links to nearby troops to place online cookie orders to ship directly to their home or for donation.

All proceeds of the Girl Scout Cookie Program stay local to help troops in our community. To find out more about Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana visit www.gskentuckiana.org.
