Girl Scout Service Unit 74, which includes Ellis, Trego, Ness, Russell and Gove counties, hosted its annual Cookie Kickoff Sunday at the First United Methodist Church in Hays.
About 50 girls made crafts inspired by this year's cookie mascot, Fiona Fox. The girls also worked on their cookie selling goals, recording their cookie pitches on video, took photos in cookie costumes and played a sensory game in which they tried to guess the cookie through feel and smell.
Cookies go on sale in the Girl Scouts of the Kansas Heartland Council of which Hays is a part on Thursday, Feb. 13. Sales end on March 22. Cost is $5 per box.

How can I purchase Girl Scout Cookies?
The best way to purchase Girl Scout Cookies is from a local Girl Scout. To find one, contact your local Girl Scout office or call (888) 686-MINT.

Cookie Shares
If you do not wish to buy cookies, but would like to contribute to Girl Scouting, ask your local Girl Scout about the Cookie Share program. A donation of $5 will send a box of cookies to service members or food banks. To learn more about Cookie Share click here.
