We have formed a partnership with ABC Bakers. You can expect the same great taste and quality, with Thin Mints, Caramel Delites, Peanut Butter Patties, Shortbread, and Peanut Butter Sandwiches plus some new flavors like, Lemonades, Thanks a Lot and Shout Outs! Take a look at the wealth of resources that ABC Bakers have to offer at www.abcsmartcookies.com.
New for 2011
• Girls go to www.abcsmartcookies.com to create and send animated E-Cards!
(Girls 13 and older can also use Facebook.)
• New Theme: “What Can a Cookie Do?”
• New Mascot: Penguin
• New Cookie: Shout Outs!
• New Package for Thanks-A Lots! By eliminating the carton on Thanks-A-Lot cookies this year, Girl Scouts of the USA and ABC Bakers are taking over 150 tons of paperboard out of the waste stream. It’s a great way to “go green!”
• New options for special recognitions at the 500+ package level.
