Where to Find Girl Scouts Cookies in Tucson
Itâs officially Girl Scouts Cookie season and youâve likely interacted with them set up outside of businesses here in Tucson. Theyâre currently using a hybrid model of online ordering and then traditional in-person selling. Lucky for us, the Girl Scouts share their kn-person pop-up schedule online â making it even easier to support them.
âCookie entrepreneurs in your community are ready to get you your favorites while earning money for activities with their troops.â

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasnât his first love. Mattâs first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary â something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the storyâs birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing âfluffierâ content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If youâre in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case youâre curious â yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
