It’s Girl Scout cookie time, with booths this weekend scheduled for Lowes Foods in Bermuda Run and at WalMart and Tractor Supply in Mocksville.
Cookie booths willbe open for business on weekends in Davie County through the first week of March.
Girls from the Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) council are taking part in the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world to bring the famous cookies to their communities while learning skills.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program is an iconic tradition that provides excitement and connection for Girl Scouts and our community members,” said Jennifer Wilcox, CEO of GSCP2P. “Amidst the fun, Girl Scouts are learning skills for leadership and success throughout their education and beyond.”
The program teaches five skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. It also helps these young entrepreneurs to fund their next ambition throughout the year like local field trips, summer camp, and international travel.
In 2024, GSCP2P girls sold 1.6 million packages of Girl Scout Cookies through Walk-About Week, cookie booth sales and their e-commerce websites.
Community members have options to support a local Girl Scout troop by visiting booths and using an e-commerce website. Online orders are delivered by a local Girl Scout or shipped directly to the customer’s door.
On Feb. 22, GSCP2P is offering a one-day special shipping promotion where customers will receive $10 off shipping charges on orders of 10 packages or more.
Cookie hunters can enter their ZIP code into the Cookie Finder to find a cookie booth in their area and discover all the ways to feed their Girl Scout Cookie cravings at bit.ly/3RPG8AM.
