Love them? I don’t even like them.
They were 100% bought just to be supportive of the little girl who lives on our street. I’ve only ever bought them once before, probably about 15 years ago, so I might try one for old time’s sake when they come in before passing them off to my kids.
Always had to send his favorites.
We get close to $1 per box. But there are also individual rewards too. My daughter sold enough boxes 1000+ last year to pay for 75% of her overnight camp. It was a lot of work though. 3-4 booths every weekend, plus our booth in our driveway.
Not me. I've bought maybe twice in last twenty years from a good friends daughter. They send an email, you buy, it gets shipped to you. Never even saw the Scout. The cookies are average other than Thin Mints but most are available in stores under a different label. The cookies might be American but children selling goods door to door or on sidewalks happens everywhere. I wish the children's groups would find other ways to raise money.
That's great. I wonder if different Councils maintain different percentages depending on how much they cover in their budgets and the size of Councils.
This is us the past number of years - we'll gladly support the cause without eating the cookies!! Oh, I might sneak an actual box every now and then, but mostly we give the money calories-free...!
I know, I was just joking around and having a bit of fun given some of the most controversial threads recently (Epstein, anyone?).
I'm really curious how much Girl Scouts raises nationwide with those cookies.
