EAST BOSTON, MA — The community of East Boston proved its local spirit is as strong as ever this past Saturday, January 17, 2026. First Priority Credit Union was proud to host the Bradley School 1st Grade Girl Scout Troop 63615 for a cookie booth that exceeded all expectations.

From 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the lobby and sidewalk at 100 Swift Street were buzzing with activity. Neighbors, credit union members, and local families stopped by to stock up on favorites like Thin Mints and Caramel deLites, as well as the new 2026 season flavors.

The event was more than just a sale; it was a showcase of the "five essential skills" the Girl Scout Cookie Program aims to teach: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. The young scouts from the Bradley School handled the rush with confidence and smiles, expertly managing orders and engaging with the community.

 

"We are so excited to partner with First Priority Credit Union to raise money to support the Girl Scouts of the Bradley School," said Audrey Taylor, Troop Leader. "The turnout was incredible, and the support from our Eastie neighbors really makes a difference for these girls."

 

First Priority Credit Union remains committed to fostering community bonds and supporting local youth organizations. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by to buy a box (or five!) and for helping our local scouts reach their goals.

Proceeds from the event stay local, helping to fund troop activities, community service projects, and educational trips for the Bradley School scouts throughout the year.
