In this episode, we talk with Jaime Alvarez with the Girl Scouts NYPENN Pathways Council, covering 26 counties in central New York and northern Pennsylvania.
The council holds its first-ever Girl Scout cookie and craft beer pairing event, Cookies Untapped on October 7 at the Collegian Hotel & Suites, 1060 E. Genesee St., Syracuse. Tickets are $65 at https://www.gsnypenn.org/cookiesuntapped.
Each Girl Scout Cookie will be perfectly paired with a delicious New York State craft beer sampling selected by A.W. Wander, Upstate’s craft beer destination. Doors open and the silent auction begins at 5:30; pouring starts at 6. The event includes the opportunity to try the new Raspberry Rally flavor before it’s available to the public.
The event ticket includes a tote bag, collectible tasting glass, light fare, and all cookie-beer pairing samples. Guests will also enjoy live music by Keep Up, an assortment of items (Girl Scout Cookies, restaurant gift cards, spa gift baskets, and more) in the silent auction, raffles throughout the evening, and a cash bar.
Plenty of free parking is available. Attendees can book limited accommodations at the discounted rate of $139 for the night. Call the Collegian Hotel & Suites at 315.701.4312 and mention the code Girl Scouts Untapped.
We talked about the five skills girls learn through cookie sales, Girl Scouting emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, and troop signup season, which is underway, as well as how adults can support the NYPENN Pathways Council.
