It's Girl Scout
Cookie time!
By Karen Rice
Girl Scouts – Diamonds of Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas had a blast
recently, kicking off the 2019 Girl Scout
Cookie program.
About 1,000 Girl Scouts and their
leaders gathered at Fayetteville High
School for a day of workshops, activity
booths, prizes and getting pumped to sell
the cookies everyone loves.
Ruby B., a 10-year-old Junior Girl Scout
from Springdale was there with her 5-year-
old sister Alexa, who's a Daisy Girl Scout.
Ruby sold more than 400 boxes of cookies
last year, but it will be Alexa's first year,
and she's hoping her sister will share her
sales tips.
Audrey C., a five-year-old Daisy Girl Scout
from Rogers is also excited about
selling cookies for the first time, and
says her favorite Girl Scout cookies
are Thin Mints.
Brownie Girl Scout Addie P., who's
seven and from Bentonville, sold
400 boxes last year. This will be her
third year selling and she's looking
forward to selling even more this
year.
Neveah F., a nine-year-old from
Tuckerman visited the booth run
by Senior Girl Scout Grace S. and
Cadette Girl Scout Eve R., and
learned the do's and don't of
booth sales.
Troops vote on how to spend
their cookie sale money. Most
troops said they would use the
money to go camping, buy
camping supplies or go on fun
overnight trips to a zoo or
aquarium. They also plan to donate
Cookie
