Operation:  Taste of Home ²⁰⁰⁹ 

Patriotism packaged in Girl Scout Cookies!

“Troops to Troops” Campaign

Girl Scout cookies are a great symbol of America.  In fact, Girl Scout Cookies continue to be one of the most requested items by Soldiers.  Please join us in reaching out to our troops – this is your opportunity to show your support for our Armed Forces so far away from home.

More than 4,000 boxes were donated to our troops in 2008. 

Let’s beat that number this year!

As you purchase your favorite Girl Scout Cookies this year, be sure to take the opportunity to show your support of our troops and local Girl Scout Troops, by purchasing an EXTRA box or two of Girl Scout Cookies.  Satisfy your own sweet tooth and send some love and a “Taste of Home” to our troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Korea.  The troops are in stressful situations, but when they receive a box of cookies from home, it sends a message to our military personnel that America is thinking of them and their safe return.

A Soldier serving in Iraq wrote:

“There is nothing like getting something from back home, especially a box of Girl Scout cookies!  It reminds me of the time that my sister sold cookies, the times my mom baked cookies and then I think of my little daughter back home who may be a Girl Scout some day.  Thank You for thinking of us and for the special notes that were attached to each box.  Today I felt like home was closer.”
