New Year’s resolutions prone to crumbling as Girl Scout cookie sales start
Just in time to smash what remains of New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, the 2023 Girl Scout cookie season kicked off this week.
Once again, the troops in Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania, such as Girl Scout Troop 52942 and Brownie Troops 28039 and 28038, will ask their communities to support Girl Scouts by purchasing cookies.
Jill Leicher, co-leader of Troop 52942 along with Kassie Walker and Allison Betts, said every box of cookies sold will contribute toward the troop funding service projects, troop travel and summer camp.
Troop members met earlier this week to go over the new cookie offerings — this year a Raspberry Rally cookie can be ordered online only — and the different ways the Scouts can get cookies into the hands of their customers.
Internet sites and Facebook posts are supplementing the traditional door-to-door sales and the booths set up in front of local businesses.
Beginning Feb. 27, consumers can order their favorite cookies for shipment directly to their front door. In addition to online ordering, consumers can visit gswpa.org to locate a booth near them and purchase cookies in-person from girls beginning March 3 and running through March 26.
