The Baxter Springs Girl Scouts received a helping hand from American Bank as the bank purchased several cases of Girl Scout Cookies which had gone unsold. The girls then delivered the cookies to the Baxter Springs Police Department as a thank-you to the men and women in the department. American Bank vice-president Judy Hill was joined by Girl Scouts Kinley Capps and Sutton Russell as they presented the cookies to Police Chief Brian Henderson, and officers Jimmy Hamilton and Rhanda Andrews.
