Just because you go off to college doesn't mean you need to leave Scouting behind.

Tyler Overly sells Girl Scout cookies near the cafeteria entrance in McIntosh Center this week.

If a Scout missed you this year, pick up a few boxes in McIntosh to support the Girl Scouts. There are several kinds of cookies priced at $4-5 a box.

Tyler is active in Campus Scouts, after being a Scout in grade school and high school in New London. She is now a senior education major.
