Girl Scout brownie troop #4282 recently sold Girl Scout cookies at cookie booths in Cedar Springs and Sand Lake, with the intention of donating proceeds to both towns’ fire departments.

On May 11, the troop made their donation of $50 to Cedar Springs Fire Chief Marty Fraser, along with several boxes of cookies. “There’s not too many young girls that would donate their money to the fire department,” commented Fraser.

They also gave them $15 they raised at the cookie sale, through a donation jar, for people who didn’t want to buy cookies.

Sand Lake will also receive $50, cookies, and an extra $13 they received through donations at the cookie booth in Sand Lake.
