Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia’s 2012 Cookie Sale program is underway in Central Virginia.

The Cookie Sale began on Jan. 13 and will end on April 1. 

Girls can take orders through traditional door-to-door sales and make sales at Cookie Booths, which will be available beginning in March throughout the region. 

Each box sells for $3.75. 

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the premier financial literacy program for girls and generates immeasurable benefits for the girls, their councils and communities in the central Virginia region.

The Cookie Program is a unique and valuable way that Girl Scouts learn goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics skills.
Nationally, 80 percent of women business owners were Girl Scouts.

This year, Girl Scouts will celebrate 100 Years of Girl Scouting in America with a new cookie, Savannah Smiles.

The eight cookie varieties available this year are: Thin Mints; Do-si-dos; Samoas; Tagalongs; Dulce de Leche, Savannah Smiles; Trefoils; and Thank U Berry Munch. 
For more information, call 746-0590, ext. 326, or 1-800-472-6884, ext. 326.
