On Monday, GSCWM delivered 1,166 cases of cookies to Barnes Aire National Guard Base and the United Service Organizations (USO), aiming to bring a taste of home and appreciation to service members currently deployed or on duty.
The donation is part of the Girl Scouts' ongoing efforts to support the military community and instill civic engagement in young members. Five of the program's top cookie sellers were on site to assist with loading the cookies onto transport trucks.
The donation not only supports the morale of military personnel but also teaches young Girl Scouts the importance of giving back and honoring those who serve.
