Guide Biscuits coming to Countdown
Yes! It's true! Original (plain) Guide biscuits will be available for a limited time in Countdown (and SuperValue or Fresh Choice) stores during October!
$1 from each packet sold will be donated to GirlGuiding NZ.
While Guide biscuits had been a huge part of GirlGuiding NZ’s culture for more than 60 years, it was decided to stop selling biscuits through the membership so they could focus on the core purpose and activities. That decision has freed up hours of very valuable volunteer time, which has enabled Girl Guiding to provide more opportunities to girls and young women.
It is very exciting that Griffin’s and Countdown have been able to bring back Guide biscuits in a way that maximises benefit for Girl Guiding members.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
