A fan of cookies, girl scouts, dogs and firemen? C'mon, who isn't?

Help girl scouts raise “A Mile of Cookies” on Saturday
For the last five years, girls from Boise Girl Scout Cadette Troop 396 have donated cookies to cancer patients at St. Luke's Mountain States Tumor Institute. Local residents have helped the effort by buying cookies to be donated.
Over the years this has meant more than 1,400 boxes of Thin Mints and other delights going to MSTI patients.
The troop is holding a special sale, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., on Saturday (Feb. 28) at the Milwaukee Marketplace, 1085 N. Milwaukee St., in front of the new JoAnn Fabrics Store in Boise.
The goal is to get you, and yours, to buy enough boxes of cookies to measure a mile, were the boxes were stacked end to end.
You can buy a box for $3.71. Buying $20 worth of cookies will mean adding about a yard to that ambitious mile. One hundred dollars will add 17 feet. Five hundred dollars will add 84 feet.
Feel like pitching in? Show up on Saturday. This year's donations will go to MSTI, but also other organizations in the Valley, including homeless shelters, food banks, the Idaho Veterans’ Home and senior citizens through the Meals on Wheels program.

GIRL SCOUTS POUND THE PAVEMENT SELLING COOKIES
Ding dong! It is that time of year again when your doorbell rings and there stands a Girl Scout, sporting her sash and patches, ready to take your order for Girl Scout Cookies. Not only is this an opportunity to order your favorites like Samoas and Thin Mints, but it gives girls the opportunity to gain valuable entrepreneurial and leadership skills.
But are the cookies safe?
Yes. The Girl Scouts are happy to report that Girl Scout Cookies are safe to eat and have not been affected by the recent Salmonella outbreak. Peanut Corporation of America is the focus of the FDA investigation and does not supply peanut butter for any variety of Girl Scout cookies.
Why should you purchase Girl Scout Cookies? Other than being delicious, and only being sold for a couple months of the year, the most compelling reason to buy Girl Scout Cookies is what it can do for the cutie on your doorstep. For every box of cookies sold it is an opportunity for a Girl Scout to earn money for camp, attend workshops, go on destination travel experiences, or help others in her community. The Gift of Caring service project allows girls the opportunity to donate boxes of cookies to benefit other community non-profits, or service men and women overseas. By selling cookies girls learn communication skills, customer service, planning, goal setting, money management, and leadership.
Maybe the question to ask is, “Why wouldn’t you buy Girl Scout Cookies?”
“What I love about the cookie program is it allows girls of all ages to set age-appropriate goals, work together as a team, and feel a sense of accomplishment,” said Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council CEO, Shelli Rambo Roberson.
