It’s that time of year to secure your favorite Girl Scout Cookies! Cookie sales are happening all around town through the first of March.

“Girl Scout Cookies are awesomely delicious but, beyond the sweetness, they are an opportunity for girls to do extraordinary things,” said Nita Blose, Fountain Hills Girl Scout neighborhood manager. “When you make a Girl Scout Cookie purchase, you’re helping the next generation of girl entrepreneurs get an important taste of what it takes to be successful — teamwork, planning and a positive outlook, for starters.”

Proceeds from purchases stay local and help power new experiences for every girl who takes part in the program.

“Whether it’s a trip she’ll never forget, a service project that will change her community forever, or the opportunity to build a lifetime of memories at camp, Girl Scout Cookies help make it all happen,” Blose continue. “It’s up to her and her troop — they own their adventure!”

Blose added that the Fountain Hills Girl Scouts would like to thank Bashas’, Fry’s and Safeway for allowing girls to set up council-sponsored cookie booths each year.

“Their support is critical to the success of Girl Scout Cookie sales,” she said.
