Thin Mints, Carmel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Lemonades –– What do these make you think of?
That's right. It's Girl Scout Cookie time again. Cookie orders will be taken from Nov. 1 through Nov. 30 and the cookies will be delivered between Jan. 5 and Jan. 14. Community booth sales will begin Jan. 10, 2009.
Phyllis Schimming,service unit cookie chairman, said sales are taking place at a different time than usual this year. Generally the Girl Scouts sell magazines and candy through November, but that will be in February this year instead.
"People are normally looking for the girls to be out selling cookies after Christmas," Schimming said. "This year we are doing our sales along with the Kansas City area Girl Scouts, so we are on their schedule."
The price of the cookies is $3.50 a box and they are available in the following flavors: Thin Mint, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Shortbread, Carmel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Lemonades, Thanks-A-Lot and Daisy Go-Rounds.
Daisy Go-Rounds is this year's new taste treat. They come in single serve, 100-calorie packs –– five packs per box.
What's the most popular Girl Scout cookie? Thin Mints, of course. Thin Mints are produced at a rate of two million cookies per day in an oven as long as a football field.
And did you know the average household will purchase approximately five boxes of Girl Scout cookies each year.
There are 180 Girl Scouts in Nodaway County. Last year the Nodaway County Girl Scouts, representing 15 troops, sold more than 19,000 boxes of cookies.
Schimming said there are 29 Daisy Scouts –– kindergarten age girls –– in the Maryville Troop. Daisy Scouts will not be going door-to-door, so if anyone knows a kindergarten child, and want to purchase cookies, call Schimming at (660) 582-5649.
More than 20,000 Girl Scouts –– kindergarten through 12th grade –– across a 47-county council participate in the cookie sale program each year. While sharing the tasty treats with buyers, they are learning lifelong skills like goal setting, time management and financial literacy.
The cookie sale program helps to build self-confidence, responsibility and interpersonal communication while the girls work as a team and learn about business ethics, decision making and presentation skills.
Girl Scouts began baking and selling cookies in the 1920s, but the first commercially-baked cookie wasn't available until 1934. Approximately 200 million boxes of Girl Scout cookies are sold each year. The northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri council sells more than one million boxes each year.
