"Our cookies are available just in time for customers to get the flavors they love, and to support Girl Scouting and our mission to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place," Amanda Kremer, director of product sales, said in a statement. "Plus, who wouldn't love to get a box of Girl Scout cookies along with their Valentine's Day chocolates and flowers?"
