Girl Scout cookies shipped overseas

Girl Scouts in the Seven Lakes Council have sent more than 3000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to our troops overseas through the USO.

'Thanks to the generosity of people in the communities in the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier Regions of New York, and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, the troops will enjoy these tasty treats over the holidays,' said Suzanne Blatchford, CEO of the Girl Scouts Seven Lakes Council. 'Not only do the troops benefit, but purchase of the cookies supports local Girl Scout activities year-round.'

Girl Scouts in the region gave customers the option of buying cookies for armed forces and other local organizations, in addition to supporting Girl Scouts by buying cookies for their own friends and families. More than 1000 boxes of cookies were also contributed to local groups such as food pantries.

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
