How To Find Girl Scout Cookies Near You in Massachusetts

There are many places to get your hands on these delicious sweet treats... but how do you find them?

For over one hundred years, Girl Scout cookies have been a staple for many in America who look forward to the seasonal treat. The Girl Scouts organization itself was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia, with the first cookie sales beginning as early as 1917 when troops baked cookies as a service project to help fund troop activities. According to the Girl Scout's website, councils generally conduct their cookie season between January and April. From small businesses hosting a troop's cookie-selling table to local supermarkets hosting a troop outside their doors, there are many places to get your hands on these delicious sweet treats... but how do you find them?

If you're wondering how to find out about the closest cookie sale to you, then be sure to check out the Girl Scout website, which has a cookie finder that allows you to type in your zip code and then search by location or date. Then be sure to mark your calendar so you don't forget (like I always seem to!). Plus, you can feel good buying these sweet treats, as the money from your sale goes right back to the troop! "All of the net revenue raised through the Girl Scout Cookie Program—100 percent of it—stays with the local council and troops. Troops may use the money earned to fund a project that will improve their community or donate the money to a worthy cause," explains the Girl Scouts website.
