Cookie Booth Locator
Now on the Council Web site, a Girl Scout cookie booth locator! 
You can search for a list of booths in a certain distance from you, or use maps to see booths in an area at a glance.
Please note, though, that this tool has just been released and is dependent upon vonlunteer leader participation to add their booths–so the information is not complete! If you’re a volunteer leader, use the link on the locator page to add your cookie booth!
The booth locator can be found here: http://www.girlscoutsmoheartland.org/boothfind

We know how important it is to you! Go ahead, explore the site create a profile and make an impact.”

The campaign includes an interactive Web site for girls, as well as an e-newsletter and Web site for adults. Each month, an all-girl editorial board explores a different internet safety topic online and then shares what they learned in the e-newsletter, which is distributed to adults the following month.

Notice regarding peanut butter and GS cookies.
Our Girl Scout cookie supplier, ABC Interbake, does not source peanut butter from either PCA or King Nut. Their peanut butter supplier is Hampton Farms.
Furthermore, their incoming peanut butter shipments are tested for salmonella to prevent contamination of their products, including Girl Scout cookie products.
