A timeless classic in the world of sweet treats will soon be available for purchase. 

It is Girls Scout cookie sales season and on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Crystal Morris with the Clinton Girl Scouts told Regional Radio, sales start this Friday and will last for six weeks. Sales are now not only in person but also online.

According to Morris, Girl Scout cookie sales are the biggest fundraiser of the year for the troop. She indicates it can be a huge boost for girls in the program who may struggle to be able to afford opportunities offered by the Scouts.

The Girl Scouts offers several opportunities throughout the year but one of the biggest items on the list of things the cookie sales supports is the end-of-the-year activity for the Girl Scouts.

The Girl Scouts also use some of the proceeds to give back. Morris says it is heartwarming to watch the generosity of the girls play itself out.

Anticipate seeing the girls out at local parking lots in your community. Morris says locally, Dave Jackson is very wonderful to work with and appreciates his support in allowing the Girl Scouts to set up at the front of his store on Saturdays. 

If buying a box of cookies is not something you want for yourself, Girl Scouts leaders hope you'll consider a box share option where you purchase a box of cookies for a first responder or 9-1-1 dispatch worker.
