Darn you Girl Scout Cookies! Why do you mock me? Why do you tempt me every time I walk past the dining room? You are so luscious and sweet, and I want to eat you all. But instead I am sentenced to pack you up in individual bags and deliver you to your new owners — who will then gobble you with delight! I will try to be strong you 166 boxes — minus the three that we’ve already eaten since we picked you up yesterday at 3 p.m.!
Do you have Girl Scout Cookies coming to your house? Are you packing them up for delivery? How fast do you eat them? How do you stop yourself with that many boxes sitting around?!!

Did you know that 100% of all proceeds go directly to your local council? No other non profits can brag of such a track record. The girls who knock on you door, and who sell at your store fronts learn multiple skills that they take with them through life. Did you know that 17 of our 17 lady Senators were Girl Scouts? Did you know that the Girl Scouts of Central Illinois and their community have raised 100,000 packages of Girl Scout Cookies to send to our troops in war zones! God Bless our Girls and God Bless each local Girl Scout Council. Doing the right thing for almost 100 years! Thanks to all who support the girls of their community.

After looking at 111 cases and another 13 cases on top of that, you get will power to not even want one cookie. Not to mention the work and keeping your mind delivering over 600 boxes with your daughter. I am so ready for this to be over, I am going insane. lol

I agree with the Girl Scout Guy. It seems like the scouts are the only ones who send to our troops over seas, of course not including the family members who send items over seas as well. Not to mention you see the Girl Scouts standing outside selling in the snow, rain, cold, and whatever else the weather decides to do.
