Girl Scout Cookie Season Is Underway In Port Washington

Port Washington Girl Scouts are gearing up for the cookie selling season.

The Girl Scout cookie season officially began on Dec.18, 2017 and runs through April. The Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the country. It teaches the girls about the importance of goal setting, management, business skills, people skills and more.

Local Girl Scouts will be selling their famous cookies at Port Washington's Stop & Shop at the LIRR train station.

If you're watching what you eat, you can still donate cookies to military overseas through Operation Cookie or to your local food pantry.

Cadette Troop #436 hosted a Cookie Kick-off for Daisies and Brownies to teach them all about cookies, selling strategies and setting goals. The Girl Scouts got a chance to get a photo taken of them in a cookie costume and tested their cookie knowledge by playing a memory match game. After the tasting, the girls got to enjoy a cookie fashion show.
