Girl Scouts come to the aid of Iowans in the military

March 12, 2002 By admin

Iowans serving abroad in the war on terrorism will soon be munching those familiar “thin mints” and “savannahs”. Soldiers from the Davenport-based 339th Military Police Company can look forward to a reminder of home — Girl Scout cookies. A Bettendorf Girl Scout troop has raised enough money to send a box of cookies to each of the roughly 100 members of the unit, who are guarding al-Qaida prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Scouts raised the money to buy the cookies in just five hours on Saturday at a Davenport shopping mall.
