Thanks to Exploremores™, the newest Girl Scout Cookie flavor, and mild weather, cookie booths were busy across metro Detroit on opening weekend.
People were excited to get a chance to try the new flavor while stocking up on favorites like Thin Mints, Samoas and Do-Si-Dos.
Fun Girl Scout Cookie facts
