Recently, there has been a concern about the availability of Girl Scout cookies. Nationally, cookies have been selling at a much faster rate than anticipated by the cookie baker. While this is great news that Girl Scout cookies are in demand, Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore and many other councils have encountered a cookie inventory shortage that changes the timeline for delivery.
“[Our forecast] has resulted in a tightness in cookie inventory and an inability to meet cookie orders at the dates originally requested,” explains Little Brownie Baker Bakers Team Sales Director Brenda Smith. “The situation was made worse by winter weather that resulted in a plant shutdown for two days in February and an ingredient delivery delay in late February.”
The good news is that we will be receiving all of the cookies that have been ordered. However, we have had to delay our cookie deliveries. The new date for cookie delivery will be the week of April 13. Cookie booths are now rescheduled for April 18 through May 16.
We thank our Girl Scouts, volunteers and parents for their patience and understanding during this time and we thank our communities for their continued support of our girls and the cookie program. The cookie program is about more than just cookies. It’s about teaching girls financial literacy and practical skills, the things prospective employers are seeking. And, it’s about investing in girls and their future.
