Leadership and entrepreneurial skills are just a few real-world lessons Girl Scouts learn, and this year, they’re finding innovative ways to continue a tradition that began in 1917: selling cookies.

Through February 28, Southern Nevadans can purchase beloved treats like Thin Mints, Tagalongs and Samoas in a safe, socially distant way. The Girls Scouts of Southern Nevada has partnered with 66 Green Valley Grocery locations to carry out its biggest fundraiser of the year, with troops signing up for contactless “shifts,” earning proceeds from that time period and completing steps toward their Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pin.

All money raised during cookie season helps Girl Scouts attend camp, fund trips and complete service projects.
