KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — It’s cookie season!
You’ll start seeing the booths pop up across town, and that cute little neighbor girl has likely already come knocking.
And you can’t say no, because we all love the cookies!
Over the last week, troops from the Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians and their families have been working hard unloading and organizing cookie shipments at a top-secret warehouse facility in West Knoxville.
While we enjoy eating the cookies, the girls learn valuable skills from selling and distributing the goods. Goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and good business ethics are just a few things they are taught through the process.
Meet any of them on the street and you know you’ve got a young entrepreneur with a bright future!
NEED YOUR COOKIE FIX?
You’ll start seeing booths this Friday.
You can find cookie locations in your area here: www.girlscouts.org/cookies
Or you can download the Girl Scout Cookie App on your phone.
All of the proceeds from the cookie program stay local, meaning that when consumers purchase cookies that come from a Girl Scout, they’re giving back to their local community
And for those with dietary restrictions, Thin Mints are vegan and Toffee-tastic is gluten free.
This year, Girl Scouts debuted a new cookie, Lemon-Ups. Each of the lemony cookies feature an inspirational message.
