Lighted cookies arrived in Highland County. And even though they will no longer be routed to local businesses as they once were, they will be available in many locations across the county over the next three weekends.
The cookies – 1,125 cases or 13,500 boxes – arrived Thursday morning at Jerry Haag Motors in Hillsboro and were distributed to various troops there. In addition to this, Marsha Williams, Girl Scout's local product sales coordinator, said she had 500 additional crates, each containing 12 boxes, reserved for people who did not receive cookies when the first order.
This weekend and the first two weekends of March, the scouts will be posted in local companies where everyone can buy cookies. Those who have already ordered cookies should receive them soon.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Scout cookies will be installed at Walmart and Hillsboro Community Markets, Community Markets, Southern Hills Community Bank and Greenfield City Building.
Williams said that weather permitting, there could also be Girl Scouts installed this weekend on the Highland County Courthouse Square selling cookies.
During the first two weekends of March, cookies will also be available at Kroger in Hillsboro.
Local Girl Scouts sell eight varieties of cookies this year. Fine mints, somoas (Carmel delicacies), clovers (shortbread), tagalongs (peanut butter and chocolate cookies), do-si-do (peanut butter sandwiches) and savannah smiles (lemon flavored with powdered sugar) cost $ 4 per box Smores and Toffee-Tastic, a gluten-free cookie, cost $ 5 per box.
With three girls who were all Girl Scouts, Williams said that in recent years, scouts loaded biscuits into wagons and ferries and took them to shops to sell.
"But a year was 25 degrees and I said," Girls, we do not stand out in this, "Williams said.
Williams said that proceeds from the sale of cookies were used to fund major activities for scouts such as camping trips, museum tours, COSI and the Zoo, or even tubing trips.
And if you can not find the Girl Scouts in front of a shop somewhere, Williams says to call him at 937-393-4775.
"I'm going to find a troop that will bring them the cookies or a place where they can find them," Williams said.
