Local Girl Scouts are in the middle of the their largest fundraiser of the year, selling cookies.

They are now in the process of delivering boxes of Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Lemon-Ups, Thin Mints, Trefoils, Samoas, S’mores and Toffee-tastics to people who placed orders.

If you didn’t place your order, don’t worry. You can still get your cookie fix.

Starting this weekend, Girl Scouts will be set up outside local businesses selling boxes of cookies as part of the annual booth sales.

Bobbi Sellers, leader of Troop 112 and service unit manager for Jackson and Jennings counties, said on Monday, a little more than 1,000 cases of cookies were delivered. Those are what people ordered and also for booth sales.

The six troops in Jackson County and two troops in Jennings County will take turns selling Saturdays and Sundays through April 30.

Walmart Supercenter, Taco Bell and 1852 Cafe, all in Seymour, agreed to allow Girl Scouts to set up outside their business to sell cookies. Outside of today, 1852 Cafe plans to allow cookie booth sales on three Fridays.

Jennings County sales will be at Walmart Supercenter in North Vernon.

Money raised by the troops will allow them to do fun things together as a reward for their selling efforts, and some also choose to help good causes in the community.

“What I try to tell my parents is without doing cookie sales, we would have no money to be able to do things for these girls,” Sellers said. “The cookies and the fall product, that is the only money that goes into our troops unless we have some other kind of fundraiser … unless the parents help out with the money or something like that. That is the only money that the Scouts get to be able to plan whatever adventure they go on.”

Scouts sold cookies on their own from mid-January to the end of February.

“I think it went very well,” Sellers said. “I think it’s about the same as we did last year.”

For booth sales, Sellers and others reached out to local businesses to see who would allow the girls to set up to sell cookies.

Walmart has allowed that for several years, while the Taco Bell at Village Center and 1852 Cafe also are allowing it this year.

“It helps out a lot because having so many places tell us no and then them just saying yes that we can do it, the girls can be able to get out and not only sell the cookies, but we’re trying to teach them a little bit of responsibility and being able to stay organized,” Sellers said. “The girls say it’s their own little business.”

The booths also allow the Scouts to learn about customer service.

“They not only deal with the happy customers that are excited to help out, but they get the angry ones sometimes, too, so I try to teach not only my troop but the other troops that not everybody has to support,” Sellers said. “But if they want to, that’s great. If not, we just go about and go to the next one.”

Sellers has been involved with Girl Scouts for seven years, including six as a troop leader, and she said she enjoys watching the girls run the booths.

“What I like is watching the girls blossom,” she said. “Some of my shiest little girls, whenever you get them to the booth sales, they just open up and they talk to the people because you tell them the more cookies you sell, the more that we’ll be able to do. … When you tell them that and kind of break it down where they understand, some of the most shy ones are the ones that blossom and sell the most.”

At the booths, S’mores and Toffee-tastics are $6 per box, while the others are $5 per box.

Raspberry Rally was a new cookie this year, but Sellers said it was only available to order online.

“I myself took orders for some of them, but they only gave our council like 6,000 boxes, and they sold out in less than six hours,” she said.
