Sweet treat alert You have until March 16 to get your Girl Scout cookies

Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Girl Scouts are wrapping up their annual cookie sales, with the final deadline set for March 16, making it essential for fans to secure their cookies soon. This year's theme, "Embrace Possibility," reflects the organization's commitment to nurturing the development of young girls through the sales process. Each cookie purchased contributes to the local community, as proceeds support both individual troops and the Girl Scouts of Western Washington Council. Interested buyers can locate local sellers via the Cookie Finder tool, which also allows for convenient online ordering. For those opting to ship cookies directly to their homes, purchasing nine or more packages offers a $6 discount on shipping and handling fees.

The initiative not only satisfies sweet cravings but also empowers Girl Scouts by teaching them vital life skills and leadership through entrepreneurship. By participating in this beloved tradition, supporters play a crucial role in fostering growth and possibility for young girls in their communities. Don’t miss the chance to indulge in these iconic treats while making a positive impact.
