Girl Scout Cookie time: Sales program benefits girls, community

SIKESTON -- For those who ordered Girl Scout cookies last month, their boxes have arrived.

However, even those who didn't place a cookie order are in luck as cookie sales will continue through March 1.

"We'll be setting up cookie booths at various locations throughout the area from now until March 1," said Gabbie Hodgkiss of Morehouse, Girl Scouts service unit leader for the Sikeston area.

Cookie booths will be set up from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Food Giant's East Malone Avenue location in Sikeston and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 15 and 16 at both the Food Giant location and Walmart in Sikeston.

Cookies are also available from any Girl Scout, Hodgkiss said.

At $4 per box, all the favorite cookies are available. These include: Thin Mints, Samoas/Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs, Trefoils/Shortbread, Do-si-dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich, Lemonades, Savannah Smiles, Thanks-A-Lot, Dulce de Leche, Chocolate Chip Shortbread and Thank U Berry Munch.
