Girl Scout Cookie Booths Begin FridayTAMPA - Girl Scouts of West Central Florida (GSWCF) is pleased to announce that Friday, Feb. 26, marks the start of cookie booths for the 2010 Girl Scout Cookie Program. Cookie booths can be found throughout the council's eight-county jurisdiction of Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Marion, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sumter counties. Booth sales end Sunday, March 21. Don't know where the closet booth is? Starting Feb. 26, the public can visit www.gswcf.org and search for a Girl Scout Cookie Booth by zip code using the cookie booth locater system. It's easier than ever to satisfy your Girl Scout Cookie cravings! Those who want to support Girl Scouting in their communities, but don't want to enjoy the cookies themselves may want to contribute to the Cookies from Home Program. This unique program is a way for Girl Scouts to give back to their communities: donations of cookies through the Cookies from Home Program will be sent directly to our military troops serving in combat zones overseas through a partnership with Support Our Troops. Donations to the Cookies from Home Program may be made in person through a Girl Scout or online at www.gswcf.org anytime through March 21. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of West Central Florida serves nearly 30,000 girls in Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Marion, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sumter counties. Did you know that more than 53 percent of all women business owners are Girl Scout alumnae?
