Cookies!


Cookies!  McKinleyville Press Blog
Local Girl Scout troops gathered together at the Arcata Veteran’s Hall in early January for their annual Cookie Rally to prepare for the new season of cookie sales coming to Humboldt.

The rally provided an opportunity for the girls to taste and learn about their cookie products, understand goal-setting and safety guidelines, and generally have fun together before the hard work begins....

Starting Feb. 11, girls can pass out order cards to friends, families, and businesses and by Feb. 18, girls should have cookies to take around neighborhoods to sell on the spot. Public booth sales held in front of local stores will not begin until Feb. 26 and then will run through the month of March....


SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! (in more ways than one)
The Girl Scout Gift of Caring project is a community service initiative where customers can purchase Girl Scout cookies that are donated to local food banks or to our military troops. Ask for more information about this program at booths or wherever you see a Girl Scout selling cookies.
