Girl Scouts extend cookie sales

Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest (GSDS) has extended the 2021 cookie season.

“With the recent storms and frigid temperatures, the Girl Scouts were unable to host their traditional booths or make cookie deliveries,” GSDS STEM Director Rink Somerday said in a news release. 

The cookie season has been extended until Sunday, March 28, meaning you can buy Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Trefoils and more in several ways:

• If you know a registered Girl Scout, reach out to her to find out how she’s selling cookies in ways that meet local and state safety protocols.
• Visit www.girlscoutcookies.org, or text COOKIES to 59618. (message and data rates may apply. Text STOPGS for STOP, HELPGS for help.)
• Download and use the official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app for free on iOS or Android devices to find socially distant or contact-free cookie booths available in your area.

If you or someone you know is Interested in becoming a Girl Scout, membership is open to any girl in or going into grades K-12. Join GSDS virtual troop meetings (during state public health orders) and program challenges without cost now and join a troop in person at a later date.
