Girl Scouts to pick up their orders at regional mass distribution sites, February 18-22

RICHMOND, VA – February 16, 2016 – Girl Scout Cookies will be delivered by the truckload during several Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia massive distribution events.

Hundreds of adult volunteers and staff will dish out 615,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to local Girl Scout troops throughout the greater Richmond and Fredericksburg areas. After picking up their cookies at these mass distribution events, Girl Scouts will begin delivering the tasty morsels to pre-order customers and will then hold booth sales in front of local businesses, February 19 – March 19. Find booth sale locations by visiting www.girlscoutcookies.org or downloading the Cookie Locator app on your smartphone.

At the delivery events, troop leaders arrive with vans—sometimes rented U-Hauls—to pick up their troop’s stash. Volunteers load vehicles, direct traffic, and make sure troop leaders are allotted the correct number of Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-Dos, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles, and Rah Rah Raisins.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls have fun, develop valuable life skills, and make their communities a better place. Cookie earnings help pay for the leadership activities, community service projects, and field trips Girl Scouts do all year long. Volunteers are essential to a successful cookie program.
