NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is here and you can be sure to pick up some delicious treats at a nearby location.

Starting Friday (Mar. 3rd), Girl Scouts Louisiana East troops will set up booths selling cookies at select locations around the state.

Those looking to purchase cookies have until March 19th.

These young entrepreneurs began preparing in January to share cookies with the community and this weekend will mark the final stage in the girl scout season.

“As we kick off our direct (booth) sales this weekend, we are thankful for the support of the southeast Louisiana community. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, Girl Scouts learn five essential skills: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills, and Business Ethics, which will empower their success in the future,” stated Rebecca Pennington, CEO of Girl Scouts Louisiana East.

All Girl Scout Cookie proceeds stay local, and sponsor programs for young girls to attend camp and spearhead community service projects.
