It was cookie delivery day last Thursday for Girl Scout troops in the Silver Spring and Takoma Park area, with some 29,000 boxes of Thin Mints, Trefoils, Samoas and other favorites arriving for them to sell.
Susan Ducey, cookie manager for Service Unit 34-8, arranged for volunteers to turn out in the morning to set up a bucket brigade.
They got the 2,400-plus cases of cookies off the delivery truck. Then it was time to sort them by individual troops' orders.
By early afternoon, leaders and some Scouts from the 29 troops in the service unit were showing up to load their cars and vans.
It's a big job, Ducey said, but "it makes a lot of good things happen for our troops."
Troops in the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital sell millions of boxes of cookies from January through March.
