January 25 - Girl Scout Cookies for the Troops

Hooray! It's Girl Scout Cookie time! I have commited to losing weight... so no cookies for me but I can still help out by purchasing Girl Scout Cookies for our troops serving overseas!  Girl Scout Cookies continue to be one of the most requested items by Soldiers. There are several different organizations who are sending Girl Scout Cookies to the troops so today I am highlighting a couple of those organizations.





Hugs for Soldiers is one of the groups collecting donations of Girl Scout Cookies for our military men and women deployed overseas. Show your support for our Soldiers and your local Girl Scouts by purchasing an EXTRA box or two of Cookies. The Soldiers are in stressful situations, but when they receive a box of cookies from home, it sends a message to the troops that America is thinking of them and their safe return.


Operation Gratitude also sends cookies to the soldiers.  When you see your local Girl Scouts selling in front of the supermarket, or when the Cookie Order Form circulates through your office, be sure to buy a few extra boxes of Caramel Delites, Samoas or Peanut Butter Patties. Ask the Girl Scout Troop selling the cookies if they send them to Operation Gratitude - some girl scout troops will send them directly to the soldiers. Or,  you can send them directly to Operation Gratitude.  You can even add a personal note on each box of cookies–a 2″ x 4″ mailing label works great.


Pick up a few boxes and you can help two deserving causes - Girls Scouts and Soldiers. Your donation helps Girl Scouts in your community and Soldiers overseas.  To add a personal touch you are invited to attach a drawing or personal note on every cookie box. Girl Scout Leaders or adults only may include their personal e-mail address for Soldiers to reply.
