Local Girl Scouts to Hold Drive-Thru Cookie Event at Mesier Park

Jones-ing for some delicious Girl Scout cookies? Those youthful geniuses have learned how to reinvent their business sales model for "these Covid times." They will be holding a drive-thru cookie event at Mesier Park in Wappingers Falls on Saturday, June 27, 2020 from 9 AM to Noon.

What is your favorite flavor or type:

• Thin Mints
• Samoas
• Tagalongs
• Do-si-do's
• Peanut Butter Sandwich
• Trefoils
• Lemon-Ups
• Girl Scout S'mores
• Toffee-tastic (Gluten-Free)
• Caramel Chocolate Chip (Gluten-Free)

Sadly, not all of the above cookies are available in our area. If there is a particular one you would like to try, reach out to your local Girl Scout chapter (or swing through the Drive-Thru event on 6/27).

Girl Scouts started selling their cookies to raise money to fund their educational programs in 1917, making the story of the Girl Scout Cookie 103-years-old.

• 100% of the money raised stays with that local troop
