Spring 2020 Lead & Learn

COMMUNITY SERVICE AND GIRL SCOUT COOKIES Girl Scouts are proud that our Cookie Program offers customers the opportunity to purchase delicious cookies for donation through Troop to Troop, providing a “Taste of Home” to U.S. military

members. The donated cookies are distributed by our partner, the USO of Missouri, whose mission is to strengthen America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. It’s convenient for your troop to participate in Troop to Troop because it is a “virtual” donation program. See pg. 20 of the 2020 Troop Cookie Manager Guide for details.

NATIONAL GIRL SCOUT COOKIE WEEKEND Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri will participate in National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend 2020, Feb. 28-March 1, celebrating the power of the Girl Scout Cookie Program and the good it creates in our communities.
