It's Girl Scout cookie sale time again in Jacksonville FL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Girl Scout cookie sale time again in Jacksonville FL! The sale starts January 8th and the troops are pumped and ready to go!

  

The girls conduct this popular cookie drive every year in Jacksonville FL to pay for things such as camps and field trips. I think this is a wonderful tool for young girls to apply principles they will need later on in life. Such as how to run a business or budget.

I have 2 daughters in the Girl Scouts each one equally competitive. It will be interesting to me to see how they do. Have they learned anything from me about how to treat their customers? How about listening to their customers wants and needs? Will they be able to help their customer choose a cookie based upon likes, dislikes or dietary concerns? Will they be prepared and efficient getting change for customers and respectful of their time?

These are things I have tried to show my children through how I treat my buyers and sellers in Jacksonville FL. I can't wait to see what they have learned Mom.

 

When you see a Girl Scout please buy a box of cookies.

I have a soft spot for tagalongs.  Despite the crazy prices its a really good cause.  I always buy a few boxes.

I work for Girl Scouts of Gateway Council in Jacksonville - so first let me say thanks for everyone who supports the girls in their sale - and I must confess I am addicted to Lemon Chalet Cremes, so i buy like 4 boxes every year and run out way sooner than I'd like to admit. SOOOO yummy! Also liking the new cookie - Thank U Berry Munch - with cranberries and white fudge chips. Can't wait for booth sales in February!

If it's Girl Scout cookie time there, I suspect it is here, too. They'll be out in front of Wal-Mart, Target, and all the grocery stores.

Jim- I love to see the girls out selling. It teaches them basic business skills early.

Cari & Doug Feb/Mar is when booth sales begin. Check around I'm sure there is a sheet being passed around as we speak. LOL!

Kim - having a grandson with severe nut allergies I would have to ask if they are guaranteed nut free ... something I never had to do before.

Kim,

Can you tell me where they might be having a booth sale here in JAX? I just moved here so missed ordering where I originated from and don't know anyone here yet to contact. My boyfriend is in the Army and he loves the Thin Mints...would love to get some for a care package for him.

Thank you!
