Egg Harbor Township Girl Scout Junior Troop 10528 and Cadette Troop 12463 are stockpiling cookies for local Armed Service Troops.
Cookie Share is a service project that enables the community to send Girl Scout cookies to our Armed Forces without having to incur the effort or cost of handling and shipping. GSCSNJ (Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey) has partnerships with the Joint Base McGuire-Fort Dix-Lakehurst and Coast Guard, to ensure that our cases of cookies get into the right hands.
In 2019, Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey shipped 35,340 boxes of cookies overseas. To help exceed last year’s delivery, Troops #10528 and #12463 increased their goal by 10%. This year the Girl Scouts are excited that their cookie packages will be distributed to those serving in the Coast Guard.
Over Valentine’s Day Weekend, with the support of Al Schiavo, Store Manager at ShopRite English Creek, the girls advanced their campaign and would like to thank ShopRite shoppers for stopping to purchase cookies and for asking about the Cookie Share program. In addition, ShopRite donated $200 toward the program.
Cookies will be sold through early March. Readers can find a Girl Scout Cookie Booth near them by going to www.GirlScoutCookies.org and entering their zip code. The site will provide a schedule of cookie booths in their area.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest girl-led entrepreneurial program. The proceeds from cookie sales stay local to power programs and service projects. The girls are happy that these cookies will bring a smile to people serving our country and protecting our freedoms.
