Girl Scout Cookies: The Perfect Super Bowl Snack
Looking for a crowd-pleasing snack for Super Bowl Sunday? Why not switch it up and buy a box of Girl Scout cookies? Cheer on the teams and support the leadership experiences girls get through Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts with eight tasty varieties that includes Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Lemonades, Thanks-A-Lots, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Shortbreads and new Mango Crèmes. At only $4 a box, Girl Scout cookies are the perfect snack for touch downs, commercial breaks and half-time performances.
Girl Scout Cookies not only make watching the teams score that much sweeter, but buying a box helps a local troop partake in service projects, go on field trips, purchase patches, attend summer camp and so much more. In addition, girls give back to others during the sale through a program known as Cookies for a Cause. Girls sell boxes of
cookies that are set aside to be donated to soldiers overseas or to a local food pantry. This meaningful element of the Girl Scout cookie program helps girls develop business ethics and feel that they are helping others.
