FAYETTEVILLE – It’s Girl Scout cookie season once again in North Carolina.

Soon, Girl Scouts from all over the state will go door to door selling cookies to raise money for their troops. But they’ll also offer customers a way to support different kinds of troops.

Operation Cookie Drop is a program that delivers Girl Scout cookies to American servicemen and women serving overseas. Customers can make donations to support the program when they buy cookies.

"That donation goes towards purchasing some cookie boxes to send over to Iraq, Afghanistan, wherever the guys are," cookie manager Tara Smith said.

For the girls in Fayetteville, many of whom come from military families, Operation Cookie Drop is one of the best parts of cookie season.

"When we are out doing booths on base, people say, ‘Oh yeah, I remember having cookies there and it was really a good taste of home,’ and it just really feels good to know you had that to give back to these soldiers,” Girl Scout Hannah Clifton said.

Cookies sold in the state through Operation Cookie Drop will go to troops based out of North Carolina.

Girl Scout Mackenzie Smith said it makes her feel good to know that along with her fellow girl scouts, she can help troops serving overseas.

"They get so happy because other people are thinking about them other than just their family, because other people care about them and sometimes they don't know that," Smith said.
