The cookie cargo has arrived at Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania's Valley Forge Service Center.
Tractor trailers stocked with nearly 65,000 Girl Scout cookie packages are coming this weekend to be distributed to local troops.
"When the kids are at school, mom gets all the cookies," said Angela Zampogna, as she climbed around in the back of her Suburban packed with cookie cases."Well, today is the initial order pickup, and I have 122 cases that I'm picking up," said Zampogna. "Thin Mints are the favorite, followed by Caramel DeLites, Peanut Butter Patties," she said. "It's just definitely a great way for the girls to kind of get a huge experience dealing with the public and how to budget and use their money wisely.""The girls love doing it, and they make quite a bit of money for our troop. So we already have a camping trip scheduled to spend this money that we haven't earned yet," said troop leader Joanne Tidwell of Malvern.
