(Council Bluffs) – An Iowa Girl Scout troop is helping sweeten the deal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. KCCI-TV reports the girls are part of a troop based at a Council Bluffs homeless shelter who had a record year of cookie sales. Some of their customers even bought boxes to be donated to worthy causes.Those cookies went to the Pottawattamie County Health Department to give to people after they get vaccinated.

In all, the health department received nearly 2,400 boxes of treats like Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs.
