The Girl Scouts are dealing with a glut, a sweet one.
Because of the on going pandemic, the Girl Scouts didn't sell many cookies this year. For safety reasons, they weren't able to sell door to door or set up booths in their communities.
The result? 15 million boxes of unsold cookies. The Girl Scouts usually sell 200-million boxes of cookies each year, that's about $800 million dollars worth.
The money is used to fund various programs for the girls...including camps.
The Girl Scouts won't say how much of a financial hit they are taking because of the lower sales. However, you can still help and find some girl scout cookies for sale online...and you can donate a box or two to a food bank or to first responders.
The cookies have a shelf life of 12 months. So stock up, there's more than plenty!
