Girl Scouts launch cookie season with annual drop in Worcester

The Girl Scouts cookie season began in Worcester with the annual Cookie Drop, despite snowy weather. Over 15,620 cases of cookies were delivered, allowing 176 troops to prepare for sales in their communities. The cookie season runs from January to mid-March, providing essential funding for Girl Scout activities. Nearly 6,000 girls in Central and Western Massachusetts benefit from the program, supported by 3,000 volunteers. Cookies will be available for sale starting next weekend. Customers can find cookies through an online locator or by contacting local Girl Scouts. The organization will also partner with businesses for additional sales opportunities.
