Girl Scout Cookie Season Brings Sweet Memories
It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time! My favorite has always been the Caramel deLites (originally known as the Samoas). The runner-up is the Peanut Butter Sandwich (I remember as the Doe-Si-Dos). At the United Way office, the Trefoils are the favored cookie. My niece, Kathryn, loves the Thin Mints. This past Sunday, Girl Scout Troop #9150 from Blessed Sacrament was selling cookies after every Mass. I believe they sold out! My son bought some cookies, and I made a donation. It was great to see the young girls in their uniforms trying to raise money for their troop. It made me reminisce on my days of selling cookies and being a Girl Scout Troop Leader. It was a lot of fun, but it was also a lot of work. I had a pack in South Laredo. We met on Saturday mornings at the old Girl Scout House behind the tennis courts on Market St. It’s changed a lot since my days there. In fact, they completely redid the building and parking lot. It is a beautiful facility. Inside you can still see the history of Girl Scouts in our community with the memorabilia that is on display. They also have a nice kitchen and meeting area. There is even a section of the new floor that commemorates the original building. In the back of the building, they have an area for outdoor activities and campfires. Dorothy Neumann and Gloria Hastings were the Girl Scout trainers at the time I was volunteering. I was so impressed by their knowledge and skills. You have to commend their volunteer leaders for their time and commitment to our youth. The “paycheck” they get is the smiles on the girls’ faces when they learn something new and earn their activity patch. I always felt that my motiva- It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time!
