Everyone (family, friends, troops, and more!) is invited aboard the USS Midway Museum for an exciting evening on the flight deck, featuring music, interactive booths, and a patriotic pep rally honoring the Operation Thin Mint℠ (OTM) Program, our troops, and Elite Cookie Entrepreneurs.

Salute our military as we celebrate shipping packages of Girl Scout Cookies to deployed troops and veterans! Bring a picnic dinner or enjoy food from the concession stand, take photos with costumed cookie characters, shop at the onsite Girl Scout shop, visit community partner booths, and explore the Midway Museum after hours!

Since 2002, Girl Scouts have participated in collecting cookie packages for Operation Thin Mint℠ (OTM), a local Girl Scout service project that originated in San Diego. Our Girl Scout troops and their generous cookie customers have sent over 3.8 million packages of America’s favorite cookies and countless notes of support to deployed troops serving around the world. At the end of each cookie season, Girl Scouts come together to celebrate sending off the cookies to our military service members.
