Daisy Samantha Weathers, center, and Brownie Madeline Taylor help bring out cases of cookies to Tatum Roe, volunteer product sales committee member with the Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest, as she stacks them on a trailer bed for the 41018 troop which has 381 cases of cookies for the start of the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Program.
