[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the DC area:

$0.98  Troop's proceeds (average based on various earning opportunities)

$1.25 Cost of product, transportation, promotion, Service Unit proceeds, rewards, administrative costs and debt. ($2.25 is the related costs for specialty cookies retailing at $6.00 per package)

$2.77 Supports direct service to girls and adults
--Financial assistance for girls
--Camp programs and eight camp properties
--Council-wide girl programs
--Training for adult volunteers
--Marketing, technological, and web support
--Six convenient office locations and staff support for our volunteers and troops

I think our troop gets 85c per box because our girls insist on getting the prizes and were not selling huge amounts.[/quote]

Thanks for your information! Is it possible to opt out of the prizes and get more $$ for the troop? Is all this information online somewhere?[/quote]

The stats on the money are from here:

I meant to include it with my post, but forgot.

I think it’s an extra 5c a box if the troop opts out of prizes. Then there are also extra incentives if you beat previous year’s sales and other things. I don’t remember all them. [/quote]
