[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, to add in reply to the GS leader who replied above: Our girls pay for their own uniforms and annual membership fees. Is “insignia” membership fees? Troop pats for badges and meeting snacks. We did have a campout last year which was covered by the troop. I helped out with cookie sales last year and so I know everyone in the trip sold cookies and it seemed like we did really well. But I have no idea how much in profit we actually made. [/quote] Badges, patches, and other insignia can easily run $30 a girl, plus probably $300+ for a camping trip depending on the size of your troop. At most the troop gets $1/box, usually less, so you can see how those funds go quickly. Did everyone in the troop get the axolotl tshirt last year? That was for troops that averaged 200 boxes per selling girl (so max $20/girl). Cookies help, but unless every girl sells aggressively, they can’t fund the entire budget for an active troop.[/quote]
