BOISE – There’s more to Girl Scout Cookies than what’s in the box. That’s the message on every package of cookies sold by over than 400 Silver Sage Council troops this season. Some 3,500 girls will be selling Girl Scout cookies from community booths in southern Idaho beginning Friday, April 5.



Visit www.girlscoutcookies.org and enter your zip code in the “cookie finder” to locate a booth near you. The cookie finder is also available as a downloadable Smartphone app from the site. Booth sales end on April 21.



The Girl Scouts of Silver Sage is also sponsoring a 5 for 5 Cookie Contest this year. Customers who buy five boxes of cookies are entered into a contest with a chance to win five cases premium favorites, including Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils and Savannah Smiles. Look for details on the Silver Sage website: www.girlscouts-ssc.org. Freeze the extra cookies to serve for the holidays!



The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the world. The new cookie box describes the five financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills the program teaches. These critical skills - goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics - will last girls a lifetime. Did you know that 80% of women business owners in the U.S. are former Girl Scouts?
