Girl Scouts “Fill the Truck” to Benefit Active Duty Military, Veterans, and Local Heroes
Join local Girl Scouts in Bristol and “Fill the Truck” with Girl Scout Cookies for active duty military personnel and veterans. The public is invited to stop by Bristol Eastern High School, 632 King Street, on Saturday, November 11, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Individuals may purchase Girl Scout Cookies for themselves, or donate a box in support of Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s Cookies for Heroes program.
Through this program, Girl Scouts of Connecticut partners with organizations throughout the state to send cookies to men and women serving our country overseas and at home, to our veterans, and to local heroes. Children and adults will also have the opportunity to make cards while purchasing cookies, which will accompany the boxes sent to our deserving heroes. To further support our heroes, there will be collection boxes set up for those who wish to donate personal hygiene items for active military personnel.
For more information about the Cookies for Heroes program or the Girl Scout Cookie Program please contact (800) 922-2770 or productsales@gsofct.org.
We are Girl Scouts of Connecticut:
We’re more than 47,000 members strong – nearly 32,000 girls and over 15,000 adults – who believe that every girl can change the world.
We’re part of a sisterhood of 2.6 million strong around the globe—1.8 million girls and 800,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Our extraordinary journey began more than 100 years ago with the original G.I.R.L., Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. On March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, she organized the very first Girl Scout troop, and every year since, we’ve honored her vision and legacy, building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success.
