2022 kicks off with arrival 6,000 boxes of cookies

ASHLAND, Ky. – Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road kicked off the 2022 Cookie Season with a 27 percent increase in initial cookie orders.

Local troops, staff, and volunteers worked together on a snowy Friday morning on the Ashland Town Center lot to collect truckloads or cookies and assemble and fulfill orders.

As the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program globally, the annual Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

All proceeds from Kentucky cookie sales stay local, supporting the vital programming and activities that leave a lasting impact on Kentucky’s young women.
