I am not a Girl guide or Girl Scout but I am Canadian

You might try to post your question on the Canadian board. I'm sure you can find someone to anwer your questions over there.

Or maybe I can find an answer for you if you want to ask me the question.

I'm no girl guide, but boy have I ate a lot of their cookies! I'll help if I can.

I am trying to get a few boxes mailed to me for my troop here in Florida. We are selling our cookies now and have had alot of Canadian tourists ask for the vanilla creme cookies that we don't have.

Once a Guide, always a Guide.

I'm also the mom of a Spark and a Pathfinder.

Here's a link to the cookie info on the national website. Girl Guides do the cookie thing differently than Girl Scouts. We sell mint cookies in the fall and the vanilla/chocolate (they come in a box of half vanilla cookies/half chocolate cookies) ones in the spring. Cookies cost $4 a box. They don't do the type of order taking that I've seen Girl Scout parents talk about on here and all profit generally goes to unit, district, area, and national, not to the accounts of individual girls. In our area, each girl is given a carton of the fall cookies to sell on their own and the spring cookies are sold door to door (and in stores etc.) in a blitz by the district, usually in April or May.

IMHO, the spring cookies are better than the fall cookies, but they aren't as good as they used to be when Christie made them.

I would think the cost of shipping cookies to Florida would be pretty prohibitive, but I can let you know when ours are available.

PS Anyone have a Girl Guide/Girl Scout going to Mosaic this summer? My oldest will be.

as mentioned cookies are $4 a box, there is one row of chocolate and one row of vanilla. ( they are also a nut free product). Although we have already taken orders for them they are not scheduled for delivery till late March , early April.

I may have a few extra boxes when the time comes as I ordered 2 cases of them but do not have orders for that amount. Opps that should be my DD has extra
