What is Juneau’s favorite Girl Scout Cookie? Thin Mints? Samoas? Or, Tagalongs?  And what does the newest cookie, the Adventureful, taste like? Have you ever wondered what Girl Scouts do with all the money they raise and how much stays here locally?

Some of the questions that will be answered on this Friday’s Juneau Afternoon.

Also on this show:

  • The Weedy Wednesday Zoom gardening series, with Southeast Master Gardeners on hand to help you problem solve.
  • And the art of fly fishing along the Juneau Road system.

Whether you’re the Juneau Girl Scout cookie sales manager, a volunteer job by the way, or a 9-year-old Brownie, there’s a lot more to Girl Scout cookie sales than you might think.

On Juneau Afternoon, Hanna Rising gave host Andy Kline pointers on how to eat “Adventurefuls,” the latest addition in the Girl Scout cookie line-up. Hanna told Andy to eat the cookie upside down, so you can better taste the caramel flavor of this brownie-inspired cookie. Hanna is 9-years-old and is in the third grade (Photo by Sheli DeLaney, KTOO).
