It's Girl Scout Cookie season and an Owensboro girl is once again looking to become a cookie-selling monster!  Ellie Wall, with Troop 1798 here in town, has been setting lofty goals for herself since 2022. That's the year she decided that she was going to try to sell 1200 boxes of cookies.

In 2023, thanks to some encouragement from a local businesswoman, she aimed even higher. She set her sights on a goal of 2000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies and she did it. Like a boss!  Yes, two years ago Ellie sold a whopping total of 2133 boxes. That's a bunch of Samoas and Tagalongs and Do-si-dos and Thin Mints.

Now, in 2025, Ellie's at it again. Initially, she decided to try and sell 2200 boxes. However, her friend Cindy Heep, the businesswoman, friend and mentor I mentioned before, has stepped in again to encourage Ellie to be assertive and aim high. She has talked her into upping that cookie game even more this year. So, drum roll!  This year Ellie is hoping to sell 2500 boxes.

Ellie, who is a student at Daviess County Middle School is already hard at work. In her first week, she has sold approximately 300 boxes. Ellie says the secret to her success is "going to everyone she knows." She hits up her aunts, her uncles, her teachers. She even managed to get her 11-year-old brother DJ to buy a couple of boxes.

The Girl Scout Cookie program works like this. The troops earn money from their cookie sales and they get to decide how to use it.  Ellie and the other members of Troop 1798 have decided to donate some of their 2025 proceeds to the animal shelter and provide supplies to foster children in our area.
