On season 4, episode 9 of Run’s House, Angela and Vanessa Simmons come up with an idea to support the Girls Scouts of America: they’ll design a Thin Mint shoe as part of their Pastry Collection.
Their stepmom, Justine Simmons, was a Girl Scout herself and she was the first to encourage the Simmons sisters to sponsor the organization.
Vanessa and Angela are featured on the Girls Scouts website.
From the Girls Scouts:
“The leadership skills girls develop in Girl Scouting will serve them for the rest of their lives. Financial Literacy can help girls gain the confidence they need to ultimately take control of their own financial future. At the Girl Scouts, girls develop business and money management skills through programs such as the Girl Scout Cookie program, the leading business and economic literacy program for girls. Many successful business women today say they got their start selling Girl Scout cookies.”
So where’s the Thin Mint kicks?
Our sources say they’ll be released around summer ’08. We’ll keep you informed as we find out more.
We love that the girls are taking advantage of their celebrity to do something good. The girls selected Financial Literacy and entrepeneurship as their sponsored Girl Scout programs. Angela and Vanessa have a video on the Girl Scouts site on how to start your own business.
Have you ever thought about starting your own business? What would it be?
FEB 11 UPDATE: The shoes will be out this summer. They’ll be green, smell like mint, and come in a environmentally friendly box!

I am a third year Brownie, getting ready to fly up to Juniors in the spring. (I was a Daisy Girl Scout in Kindegarten too) My mom and my grandmother were Girl Scouts. My mom is my Troop leader. I love Girl Scouts! My troop has learned so much and we always have a blast!
I can’t wait to get a pair of the Pastry Thin Mints Kicks! They are going to be so cool! Hopefully they will get here in time for me to wear them to Girl Scout camp this summer. I earned my campership from selling cookies last year! Please save a pair for me,
Thanks Angela & Vanessa!!
My daughter Jaimye 6yrs old is a 1st year brownie and is finally ready to start selling cookies. She loves the show and we just received the LEADER magazine today and when she say y’all on the cover she loved it I just want to thank you for being such great role models.
I was born into Girl Scouting thanks to my Mother who was a leader at the time of my birth and remainded in the Girl Scouting community until I was in middle school. I am now 26 and have had my own troop for several years now. I just want you to know that I am thankful for the good publicity that you girls have provided for the GSUSA organization. My council just started taking Cookie Orders yesterday and my girls are desperate for your new Thin Mint shoes. They can’t wait for them to come out. They are all setting their sales goals with the purchase of the shoes in mind. We can’t wait to see them!

I bought the shoes today, they are SO cute. They didn’t smell like mint though, which is alright. Not like the smell would last.
[…] We saw Vanessa and Angela Simmons come up with the idea of Girl Scout-inspired sneakers last year on Run’s House season 4. V&A are the spokespersons for Girl Scouts of America. […]
