Girl Scout cookie season starts Jan. 13 across the country.
What started as a grassroots project in 1917 has grown into a sweet deal for not just the girls who sell the cookies, but the communities those girls serve.
“We give back to the community,” said Becky Burton, CEO of Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains. “The girls make the decisions on what they want to support in the community and that includes service projects. I know we have troops that love to go to help at animal shelters. They even give their troop money to support them. They get to make those decisions. They see a need in their community, and they look to see how they can help through money and service. It’s not just a cookie.
Even if you’re not a cookie fan or just can’t have them, your donation can help a community hero get theirs.Sign up for NBC DFW newsletters“We have a Cookies for Heroes campaign. You know people will say, 'I’m on a diet,' or, 'I don’t need the cookies.' Where you can still buy a pack of cookies and that troop will take it and give to our community heroes. To teachers, first responders, hospital employees, to thank them for all they do for our community,” Burton said.
