Girl Scouts leaders from across Rutherford County picked up 1,600 cases of Girl Scout cookies Wednesday afternoon for the annual cookie sale. Each case contains 12 boxes of cookies. Linc MCDaniel (second from left) Service Unit Cookie Manager said cookies will be available at Walmart and Food Lion each weekend through February as well as individual sales. The cookie sales help with camp, projects and other Girl Scout activities. When the lift on the transportation truck failed, McDaniel, Scout leaders and truck drivers had to remove the nearly 3,000 boxes of cookies by hand.
