    • When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you are supporting girls in your community.  Cookie sale profits allow the girls to work on service projects, travel and make the world a better place.  Now, because of Daisy, Brownies, and Junior local troops, Girl Scout Cookies will do even more.  The girls sold 90 boxes of cookies to be donated to the Backpack food program in their school.  When asked to choose a charity for their cookie donations, the girls enthusiastically chose the Backpack Food program.  Cookies are still available for purchase if you want to help out with this worthwhile cause!  Sandra Pankey received the cookies on behalf of the backpack food program at the Newport Elementary School.
