HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - The Girl Scout Cookie season is officially underway and here to tell us all about it are Erica Chavez, product program manager of the Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast, and Girl Scout senior Brielle Peltonen. Plus, they show us how to get our creativity popping in the kitchen with Somoa Cookie Popcorn.
