The Wendy’s team was so thrilled for this brand collaboration that many individuals shared their own Girl Scout stories. Read more below on how this organization has positively impacted our very own!

Kelly Coughlin, Girl Scout Alum, Director of Brand Marketing

• I have so much passion for Girl Scouts! I started in Kindergarten and was a Girl Scout through high school, even completing my Gold Award. I have such fond memories and core values instilled in me from my experiences. And of course, I will forever have an endless love for Girl Scout COOKIES!

Jacquelyn Blanchard, Girl Scout Alum, Senior Analyst of Commercialization

• I was a Girl Scout for 10 years, so it became a huge part of my childhood. Cookie season was always such a fun time. Some of the best memories weren’t just from selling cookies but from what those sales helped us do. I loved our camping trips, making s’mores, laughing with my troop, and collecting badges. Girl Scouts gave me so many little moments and lessons that stuck with me, from teamwork and confidence to handling customers. It’s a chapter of my life I’m still grateful for.

Natasha Perry, Girl Scout Alum, District Manager

• Girl Scouts has a special place in my heart, other than school this was a safe, loving environment. The moments shared will never be forgotten. I was a girl with sash and a smile, earning badges one step at a time, learning to lead, sharing, and the meaning of a friend. Every adventure felt like it would never end. A Girl Scout at heart, forever.

Tracy Wenzlik Grason, Girl Scout Alum, Program Manager, IT Security Strategies

• “The best memory I have was spending three and a half weeks backpacking through Europe with my best friends visiting the Girl Scout Swiss Chalet and meeting other Girl Scouts from around the world!. The opportunities that Girl Scouting provides to the girls is pretty remarkable and the friendships, experiences and memories cannot be replaced, all thanks to our fundraising through selling Girl Scout Cookies.”

Christina Meehan, Girl Scout Alum, Project Manager, Restaurant Services

• “Growing up as a Girl Scout was an unforgettable experience that shaped me in so many ways. The friendships I built, the challenges I overcame, and the fun we had as a troop are all experiences I cherish to this day. Being a Girl Scout taught me teamwork, leadership, and goal setting, lessons that continue to guide me in my personal and professional life.”

Michelle Shaffer, Girl Scout Alum, CHRO, Impact Ventures, Corp./dba Wendy’s

• “I couldn't wait [for Girl Scout Cookie Season] because I knew, not only would I get to try and sell the most (never did, but enjoyed the challenge), I knew we'd be buying some of our own to put in the freezer for the best tasting cookies in the world! My favorite, and still to this day, is the Thin Mints.”

Heidi Schauer, Girl Scout Alum, VP of Communications, Public Affairs & Customer Care

• “I have very fond memories of being a Brownie, then a Girl Scout. [Being a Girl Scout] taught me confidence having to go door-to-door as a child to sell cookies (the old fashioned way!), it taught me pride to serve others and my community and to work hard and get rewarded for that hard work with all those cool badges!”

Fans can treat themselves to the new Thin Mints Frosty in Wendy's restaurants nationwide or through Wendy's mobile app now for a limited time.
