The wait is over; Girl Scout Cookies have arrived in Cannon County. Hundreds of Girl Scout Cookie packages will be distributed to troops February 7 during Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee’s Cookie Delivery. During the event, volunteers, leaders and parents will unload the cookies off of a semitrailer and then will disperse the cookies to Girl Scout troops throughout the county. Troops then deliver the cookies to their customers and sell them at booths. The event will take place at the Cannon County Community Center located at 630 Lehman Street in Woodbury. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the world. The program has immeasurable benefits for the girls including helping them develop lifelong skills including: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. The impact of how large the cookie program is in Middle Tennessee is especially visible at this event. Visuals will include dozens of Girl Scout volunteers and staff members loading vehicles to the brim full of Girl Scout Cookie packages.
