Thanks to the support of generous Long Islanders, more than 2 million Girl Scout Cookies have been sent to U.S. troops overseas and in military hospitals through Operation:Cookie.

We are very happy to announce that our next shipment of cookies will be carried overseas by the USS New York from the Naval Station of Norfolk, Virginia. The USS New York, which was commissioned in November 2009, incorporates steel salvaged from the site of the World Trade Center in its construction.

Once again, we've partnered with the military and other agencies to distribute the cookies. Last year, our cookies reached those in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Red Sea, the Naval Hospital and Walter Reed Medical Center.

Please help us send members of the U.S. military a sweet taste of home. When you sponsor cookies, you and your business or organization will be listed on our website as an OPERATION: COOKIE sponsor. More importantly, you will be showing your support for our military and their families.
