It's Girl Scout Cookie time! Girl Scouts are out selling their iconic cookies and we learn more about the new flavor and how it boosts area Gi…
Many Girl Scouts are putting their entrepreneurship skills to the test as Girl Scout cookie season gets underway.
Linda Balogh, assistant to the directors of Royal Family Kids Camp, said the contribution will help them continue offering meaningful experiences to vulnerable children. “Royal Family Kids is a camp that we do for neglected and abused children and ages seven to 11, and we just give them positive memories by showing them good role models having fun and creating positive memories.”
Local Girl Scouts are getting ready for another season of cookie sales, that not only funds their troop, but also teaches them valuable life skills.
It has been around since the late 1940s, providing inspiration and education for girls of all ages, and another season is about to start. The Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is looking for any young ladies in kindergarten to fifth grade who are not currently involved in Girl Scouts to participate in their day camp at Camp Woodhaven off Robb Avenue. It will run Tuesday, June 4th, through Thursday, June 6th. This year's theme is "The Sky is the Limit," and they will be learning about space, the sky, and how it all relates to Planet Earth.
The Kiwanis Club of Lima generously donated money to three local organizations that work tirelessly to serve children in the community.
Those with the Girl Scouts say that they've had a lot of interest from local girls to become scouts, but they need more adult volunteers to lead them. They're looking for volunteers to become troop leaders, working with scouts in schools, help with the cookie program, and people to train new volunteers.
The Girl Scouts of Western Ohio are trying to think outside the box to sell their remaining cookies.
The Girl Scouts troops were heading into their last boost in their cookie sales when the COVID-19 outbreak happened. Now they are reaching out to community partners to take part in a program called "Business Bosses Supporting Cookie Bosses" and they are asking people to purchase four or more cases of cookies for themselves or to donate to charity organizations, food banks or even first responders. Right now, the council expects that each troop is going to lose $900 in proceeds. So, they are hoping people step up in a new way to make sure that doesn't happen.
