Thank you Emerald Island Casino! (Bridget S., Girl Scout Troop 80)
Everyone has a special place in their heart for Girl Scout Cookies. Not only because they’re spectacularly delicious, but also because purchasing Girl Scout Cookies powers the Girl Scout Cookie Program and helps girls fulfill their dreams, gain great experience, and help to improve their communities.
Girl Scout Cookies not only help Girl Scouts earn money for fun, educational activities and community projects, but also help to introduce them to entrepreneurial skills.
This year marks the 100 Year Anniversary of the Girl Scout Cookie program.
In 1917, Girl Scouts in Muskogee, Michigan decided to sell cookies baked in their kitchens to help raise funds for their projects.It wasn’t until the late 1930s that commercial bakeries started baking cookies for the program. The Cookie Program has certainly grown since that humble beginning.
Today over 50 million U.S. households buy Girl Scout Cookies every year.
Did you know that you can also help provide a special treat to members of the United States Armed Forces by buying Girl Scout Cookies? The Girl Scouts have initiated a program to deliver Girl Scout Cookies (and a little bit of home) to United States military personnel around the globe. Ask a Girl Scout about the Cookie Share Program!Look for Girl Scouts to be selling cookies door-to-door and at various retail locations throughout Henderson.At the Emerald Island Casino we are proud to be able to help support these amazing young ladies as they develop marketing skills and help to better their community with community service programs which are funded, in part, by cookie sales. Plus, kets face it, we also just plain love the cookies! With so many flavors there is a great Girl Scout cookie for everyone. They even have gluten free cookies! Some of the Emerald Island Casino team members’ favorites flavors are Thin Mints, Tagalongs and S’mores! What are your favorites?
Thank you for making the Emerald Island Casino the Locals’ Favorite Since 2003!
