Operation Thin Mint℠ (OTM) is a local Girl Scout service project that
originated in San Diego in 2002. Since then, our Girl Scout troops and
their generous cookie customers have sent over 3.25 million packages
of America's favorite cookies and countless notes of support to
deployed troops serving around the world, including Afghanistan, Iraq,
Africa, Japan, Korea, and the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean.
Check out how we celebrated the 20th Anniversary of OTM and see feedback from the military troops.
Print blank OTM notecards, decorate, and return to any Girl Scouts San Diego office or resource center so we can send "notes to show we care" to deployed troops and veterans with shipments of OTM cookies. We collect notes year-round.
Earn this exclusive fun patch by submitting 20 OTM Notes to Show We Care cards to our Balboa Shop. GSSD goal to collect and send off 200,000 to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Quantities limited, while supplies last.
