DOVER – Girl Scouts in Vermont and New Hampshire are gearing up for Operation Cookie.
Operation Cookie is an effort to send thousands of boxes of Girl Scout cookies to servicemen and women around the globe.
Cookies reach troops in Japan, Middle East, and service members in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Girl Scouts will begin collecting the cookies at the end of March and will be delivered to the Pease Air National Guard Base in New Hampshire. Members of the 157th Air Refueling Wing will be at the base to receive the cookies.
Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains is accepting financial donations until April 12 to support Operation Cookie. A case of cookies, which includes 12 boxes, costs $42, and cases are labeled with the name of the donor and include a greeting to the troops.
To send a donation, send a letter with your name and mailing address, and a check payable to GSGWM to: GSGWM, PO Box 10832, Bedford, NH 03110-0832.
Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains encompasses some 15,000 girls in Maine and Vermont, and is supported by approximately 5,000 adult volunteers.
The organization donated about 12,000 boxes of cookies in 2011.
