SCFCU Welcomes Girl Scout Troop 595

On Friday, February 19, 2010 Sussex County Federal Credit Union welcomed Girl Scout Troop 595 to the Seaford branch. Co-leader Cindy Hill and two of her scouts, Skyler Bailey and Breanna Messick, set-up a table in the branch lobby with boxes of cookies to the delight of Sussex County FCU members and staff.

Girls Scout Cookies are a familiar part of American history for over 80 years! All of this started in 1933 with the Girl Scouts of Greater Philadelphia Council who baked and sold cookies in the city's gas stations and the electric company windows. The cookies sold for just twenty-three cents a box! The sale of the cookies helped the Girl Scouts develop valuable life skills and provides resources for their local Girl Scout councils and their troop.

Sussex County FCU is proud to be a part of this long standing American tradition and happy to be able to help Girl Scout Troop 595 reach their goals.
