Get ready to indulge in some sweet goodness this Girl Scout Cookie Weekend on February 16!

The tradition of selling these scrumptious cookies began in 1917 by the Girl Scout troop of Muskogee, Oklahoma as a fund-raising activity. Now, it has become a beloved annual tradition where enthusiastic, green-sashed girls become mini entrepreneurs, learning valuable skills about money and business! So let's gear up to enjoy those Thin Mints, Tagalongs and Samoas, and remember, it's not just a cookie - it's a piece of history and a step towards empowering our future leaders!
