    Girl Scout cookie season

    Ally Dillinger, 5 years ago

    MINOT, N.D. – Submittted Photo Members of Girl Scout Troop 10312 donated cookies for kitchen workers during the coronavirus pandemic and free food to Minot Public Schools students.

    It will soon be Girl Scout Cookie time again. The beloved cookies will be on sale at area locations from Feb. 12 to March 22.

    “We’ve already had numerous people asking for them,” said Tara Mitchner, one of the leaders of Girl Scout Troop 10312 at Minot Air Force Base.

    The most popular cookie flavor is thin mint, which is also a vegan cookie. The second most popular is Samoa, which includes caramel, chocolate and coconut.

    Mitchner said the girls meet once a week at a location on base. Restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic required them to do all virtual meetings for a time, said Mitchner, but they returned to in-person meetings in December. Half the group meets for one hour and the other half of the group meets the second hour to reduce the number of people in a room. The troop must follow the base’s coronavirus guidelines as well as North Dakota’s.

    Mitchner said the 11 middle school age girls in her troop have had a cookie rally, where they go over their goals for the upcoming cookie sales. They learn how to sell, how to handle inventory, and how to make a profit and to plan for what they would like to do with their earnings.

    Submittted Photo Members of Girl Scout Troop 10312 sold Girl Scout cookies at Arrowhead Shopping Center.

    Different troops in the area will take turns selling the cookies during previously agreed to hours at tables at such locations as Dakota Square Mall, the north Minot Marketplace Foods, and Home of Economy in Minot, said Mitchner.

    Mitchner said the girls in her troop will not be able to go door to door this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. She is not sure whether that is also required of other Girl Scout troops.

    The price of a box of cookies is going up this year, to $5 and $6, which means that the Girl Scouts will also earn a bit more money.

    The girls in the troop plan to cook for airmen living in the dorms at the base in April. Mitchner said some of the profits from the Girl Scout cookie sales will help pay for that activity. Profits can also be used to pay for activities such as camping.

    Submittted Photo Members of Girl Scout Troop 10312 sold Girl Scout cookies at Dakota Square Mall and talked to state legislators about cookies and the Girl Scouts.
