Well, it seems winter is upon us in Greensboro as is Girl Scout Cookie time! These girls from Troop 41157, marching in the MLK parade advertising cookies, are absolutely precious! 2012 is a special year for Girl Scouting in the United States; the organization celebrating its 100th anniversary this year-- and 95 years of selling cookies. On the day of the parade, these young scouts were spending their holiday promoting the Girl Scout organization, building a sense of community among their troop, doing community service, and making every effort to sell cookies along the way.
If you get a chance, buy some Girl Scout cookies this year. If you pre ordered, your scout should be notifying you soon that your cookies are in. If you didn't get a chance to pre-order, stop by the Harris Teeter at Pisgah Church or the one at Battleground/Horse Pen Creek from 11:00- 5:00 today to purchase Girl Scout cookies. Make standing in freezing temperatures worthwhile for these dedicated scouts! While the young ladies at Harris Teeter aren't the ones in the above photo, they are equally dedicated to their very worthwhile organization and have the same great cookies. If we hear of other booths, we'll let you know.
We're posting this on Sunday as one of our religious/spiritual posts, since the Girl Scout organization encourages members to have a belief in a spiritual principle.
Great shot...! I'll take a box of Samoas please!
