Inspired by the classic confections of Latin America, the all-new Dulce de Leche cookies are rich with milk caramel chips and stripes and have a hint of cinnamon. This latest Girl Scout cookie adds an international flair to this year’s Girl Scout Cookie Season. This new cookie also gives Girl Scouts a unique opportunity to celebrate Latin-American cultures and learn a little “Cookie Spanish” at the same time.
“The Cookie Program allows girls to put into practice life skills they learn in Girl Scouting,” says Girl Scout CEO Linda J. Rath. “It helps them use math skills to manage money. Our cookie program also teaches them the importance of developing business and entrepreneurial skills they need to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce.”
From Jan. 16 - March 13, Girl Scouts will be out in full force taking orders for this annual sale. Cookies are $3.50 per box. Delivery on pre-orders will take place the end of February and first of March. Girl Scouts will also be out in their community selling cookies in front of area businesses the weekends of Feb. 27, March 6 and March 13.
Girl Scouts will also be asking customers to purchase additional boxes of cookies to support the military in “Operation Taste of Home.” Customers will also be invited to write a letter of support and encouragement to be included with the cookies that the girls will ship.
Cookies may also be purchased at the Girl Scout Service Center, 1936 Dayton Blvd. in Red Bank, or contact the Council to request a Girl Scout troop take an order at 877-2688, 1-800-446-2472 or by email: cookies@mbgsc.org.
