Why only who they know? Adult present makes sense. One came to my door this week so it happens still. I knew her though. |

My kid went door to door. Definitely went to people she didn’t know. The last few years she did door hangers because of Covid and that was much less successful.

| My first grader did. We’re in the city and hit up all of our immediate neighbors, and just skipped a few specific houses. |

| They do, but my Girl Scout only goes to neighbors and family, and sells at booths outside supermarkets. The cookie sales season is cold (Dec-Jan for pre booth sales) and most people don't answer their door, so it's not a great experience or return. |

| I just had a girl selling to me on my doorstep on Sunday. |

| I don’t get door sales anymore. I only see online links and booths at stores. |

| I just wish they (and all the other groups) weren’t outside the grocery stores. I hate being accosted as I’m going in and out of the store. |

| They mostly have their mom post a go fund me type message on social media for them. The girls don’t seem to do any work. |

If it helps put it in context, cookie sales are how our Girl Scout troop raises money for the entire year. We have a quarter of our girls on financial aid (I know because I’m a leader), and without cookies we wouldn’t be able to afford badges, supplies, take our girls camping, do service projects, or go on field trips. Our troop also donates about a quarter of our annual sales to a local food bank every year. |
