Just because
cookie season is over doesn’t mean people don’t have Girl Scout Cookies on the
brain!!! Did you know that the Cookie Program doesn’t end once you’ve turned in
your cookie money and received your cookie badge? We order extra cookies just
in case many of you eat all of yours while watching an episode of The Voice. The Girl Scouts –Diamonds
office had tons of cookies leftover, so we decided to make the world a better
place one box of Girl Scout Cookies at a time.
Girl Scouts
– Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas donated 203 cases and 11 boxes of
Girl Scout cookies to the Arkansas Army National Guard.We donated to soldiers
at Camp Robinson in North Little Rock and to soldiers in Fort Smith. Two soldiers
along with Girl Scouts- Diamonds staff helped load all the cookies into the
truck.
The truck was packed with so many cookies that we could hardly close the
trunk. Not only did they receive Girl Scout Cookies, but also thank you cards
from some of the Girl Scouts in the council. We hope the soldiers enjoy their
tasty treats!
Soldiers
from Camp Robinson weren’t the only ones to get Girl Scout cookies. Little
Rock Air Force Base Airman and Family Readiness Center also received a sweet
treat! Girl Scouts – Diamonds donated 191 cases of Girl Scout cookies to the
men and women of the Air Force Base and the Family Center. 
The cookies will be
used in various ways. The family center will give a few cases to their new food
pantry; many of the cookies will go into care packages for soldiers being
deployed and soldiers returning from deployment. The cookies will also be used
at the day care, during training, meetings, classes and more!
When a
soldier opens their care package that was packed with love, appreciation, and
gratitude and he or she sees a brightly colored box with a smiling girl on the
front panel, we hope that solider thinks of Girl Scouts- Diamonds and smiles,
because Girl Scouts – Diamonds love our troops!
