The Girl
Scout Cookie Program is a
respected American tradition
that delivers so much more
than cookies. The program
teaches girls how to become
successful, confident
businesswomen. The sale is
the largest business and
economic literacy program
for girls. Girls gain
experience in advertising,
budgeting, goal-setting,
people skills and teamwork.
The proceeds from the sale
support local troop
activities and program
services offered by the Girl
Scout Council of Colonial
Coast. Through the Gift of
Caring program, customers
may also request that cookie
purchases be donated to a
favorite charity. Over the
past five years, with the
help of the USO, the Girl
Scout Council of Colonial
Coast has sponsored a
council-wide USO Gift of
Caring program that has
resulted in 10,000 boxes of
cookies annually to be given
to military men and women,
many who serve overseas.

Cookies in
the News So far

media coverage for the
cookie sales! You may
have heard the DJs talk
about the cookies on 97.3,
96.1, 104.5, and 94.9, just
to name a few. Cathy
Lewis host of HearSay
on WHRV and a 2007 Women of
Courage, Confidence, and
Character honoree, chatted
with Communications Director
Marcy Germanotta on-air.
Marcy's also been on local
Clear Channel Stations
speaking with Doc Christian.
Communications Specialist
Elizabeth Farry went on-air
with Randy Jones on the
Elizabeth City State
University station 89.9.
We're tackling television
coverage as well. Amanda B,
of Troop 5178 of Hampton,
joined Elizabeth on WAVY TV
10 at Noon. Coming up, we'll
also have coverage on WGJT
and top cookie seller Katie
B will join us on WAVY's
program Bottom Line.
We've also had multiple
spots of Chesapeake's
Channel 48 WCTV.
As far as newspapers go,
we've been out in full
force. Articles have
appeared in the Beacon, the
Clipper, the Suffolk Sun,
the Suffolk Herald, the
Poquoson Post, Tidewater
