Boise Area Girl Scouts Launch Cookie Sales This Weekend

It is perhaps the most anticipated launch of the entire year and while it's a nationwide fascination, here in the Treasure Valley it is no different. Perhaps you will begin to see the Facebook posts appear and the desperation arise:

DOES ANYONE KNOW A GIRL SCOUT!?

Yes, we're speaking of the OFFICIAL Girl Scout Cookie Season and we're excited to announce that finally, it's here. We know plenty of Girl Scouts and can't wait to share in all of the cookie news with you as it continues to get closer.

Just this week, the Girl Scouts of Silver Sage-- the local organization here in the Treasure Valley--has announced the OFFICIAL cookie kickoff date as today, February 21st!

Yes, you'll be seeing booths this weekend!

On February 22nd, a special cookie stop will be taking place at the Albertsons Marketplace on Eagle & Fairview -- with a chance to win some tickets to Boise Music Festival while you're there!

A lover of all things sweet??

On February 26th from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. the general public, ages 21 and older, can join the OFFICIAL "Top Cookie" Kickoff event. Back for its 4th year, it will be an evening to take an exclusive look at this years' cookies while tasting some creative and local creations!

At the event, local chefs here in the Treasure Valley will be challenged with making a dessert incorporating only the flavors of Girl Scout cookies! There will be hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and your chance to sample (and vote for) your favorite, local creations!

Tickets are $55 each for this exclusive event or just $100 for a pair!

As always, proceeds go towards our LOCAL Girl Scouts who are active and involved members of our community, working to be young, female entrepreneurs of the future!
