If you hear a knock at your door this weekend you may want to answer it, because you may find a Girl Scout on the other side. Starting Jan. 7, the Girl Scouts will begin taking Cookie orders. The cookies are the Scouts top fundraiser, and organizers say it helps provide programming year round as well as helping girls participate who normally couldn't.
"This is just a wonderful time for our council and for our girls, they get so excited to go to the booths sales, people call and stand in line for these Girl Scout cookies," said Girl Scouts Black Diamond Council Membership Development coordinator Stacie Bolen. Bolen says if you don't know anyone in the Girl Scouts, you can order cookies at their location in Beckley on Johnston Road. Orders for cookies will end Feb. 3, and they will be delivered March 5.
