Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) was chosen as one of only six councils across the Nation to pilot two varieties of Girl Scout Snack Bars during the 2013 Girl Scout Cookie Program. Tagalongs Snack Bars feature rolled oats, cereal flakes, and chocolaty granola combined with peanut butter chips. Double Dutch Snack Bars are made of rolled oats, cereal flakes, and granola, sprinkled with dark chocolate chips and a chocolaty drizzle. Local Girl Scouts will offer bars by the box with five bars per box.
Each cookie variety will be on sale for only $4 a box. The new snack bars are $5 a box.
Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program directly benefit girls in northern Illinois, supporting Girl Scout programs, camp scholarships, volunteer training, membership assistance, and outreach programs. Each troop receives a portion of the proceeds as discretionary funds for troop activities. In fact, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is one of the few youth-oriented programs in the Country providing its participants the ability to decide how to use the money generated through their business activity.
