Unsold Surplus Cookie Inventory Will Have Major Impact on Girls’ Ability to Meet Their Goals

ERLANGER, KY (March 30, 2020) –– Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) relies heavily on cookie sales as they represent over 80% of its annual operating budget and provide girls and their troops the opportunity to set goals and earn their own money, used to fund rigorous programs and growth opportunities. Because GSKWR Girl Scouts must sell cookies door-to-door and at public gathering places, the impact of actions around the COVID-19 pandemic have halted all direct cookie sales. GSKWR currently has warehouse locations throughout the State of Kentucky housing the 3,900 cases (46,800 boxes) of surplus cookies that must be sold.
