You can't keep a Girl Scout down.

Haliyah DuBois, 10, is a Girl Scout in the middle of a busy cookie season. Over the weekend, DuBois and her mother were outside a Fred Meyer selling cookies when two men tried robbing their stand.

Thursday she returned to the same Fred Meyer. With the support of her mom and fellow Girl Scouts, Haliyah came back with a powerful message.

A new sign, covered in colorful flowers and hearts, is displayed at the front of their stand. It reads "You can't keep a Girl Scout down."

A new sign displayed at the troop's cookie stand sends a powerful message.

"To me, that means you shouldn't stay sad and continue thinking about what happened," said Haliyah. "Be confident."

Police are still searching for the suspects. Earlier this week they released a surveillance photo hoping to get help from the public tracking him down.

"I've been feeling pretty good," she said. "I want everyone to know that they shouldn't be afraid of those people, they should stand up for themselves and try to be loud."
