[quote=Anonymous]The troop leader and money manager should give an annual report on the finances.  I think you could nicely ask for that.  The girls should also get an annual report on what they made in cookie sales and make a joint decision on how to use it.   For instance, one year my Brownies decided to use a portion to buy food to make sandwiches for the homeless and the rest of an ice skating lesson.  I think the next year they used some to buy supplies for the animal shelter and put the rest towards a pool party (pool admission fees plus pizza and cake).  Another year my cadettes used their money for a dave and busters party, and another year the used it to pay for admission tickets for Hershey park (parents paid for hotel room).  
There were a couple years in the pandemic we used it just to pay tegistration fees and waive dues for the troop since I felt bad about asking families to pay when we weren’t sure what we would be able to do.  
We’ve also used it to cover some smaller expenses for smaller things like archery badge program, etc.  If your troop doesn’t have dues, it may be covering something like a room rental for your meeting and the costs of badges.  
Did you ask your daughter if they talked about what there were going to do with cookie money?  I would start there.  She must be at least a second grader, and they should be discussing this at meetings.
