Sightings of Thin Mints and Peanut Butter Patties are in your future as Girl Scouts in Door and Kewaunee Counties continue to work hard on their different badges and projects throughout the winter months. Net proceeds from cookie sales go towards many programming opportunities available to members and troops in the Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes like renting sites at Camp Cuesta located in Baileys Harbor. Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes Communication Coordinator Melissa Loest says local girl scout troops are also busy right now with projects benefiting the community.

In addition to raising important funds for the organization, Loest says girls get hands-on experience running a business during the cookie sales period, which runs through March.
