Edmonton - September 30, 2012 - Fall has arrived, and with it comes the long awaited return of Girl Guide chocolatey mint cookies. Delicious on their own, dipped in hot chocolate or crumbled on top of ice cream, these cookies are only available for a short time, so get them while you can.

Girl Guides have been selling cookies for over 80 years, with proceeds going to support girls in their Guiding program and activities. Not only does cookie selling raise funds, it teaches the girls valuable life skills, from courtesy, safety awareness and money management to self-confidence, goal setting and customer service.

Over 4 million boxes of cookies are sold every year across Canada thanks to you, our loyal supporters. Our cookies are produced by Dare, an all-Canadian company, in a nut free bakery so everyone can enjoy them. Watch for the girls coming door to door in your neighbourhood this fall. For $5 a box, it will be the best investment you’ve made this year - supporting the business leaders of tomorrow.
