[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GS guides kids to make their own online advertisement and yes, it gets sent to parent friends. Just don’t respond. The GS donate tons of boxes. Each troop picks a group to which they donate. The military, firefighters, hospital ERs, whichever. 
The troop earns money from the sales to fund their activities, which include many cool things that girls could not otherwise afford. GS also have related badges concerning business and being an entrepreneur that relate to cookie sales, all of which is valuable to kids. Many kids sell cookies to earn money for summer camp.

If you don’t want them, just say no, and move on. It’s a good organization that [b]provides leadership opportunities for girls[/b] and civic education.

There are so many other things to whine about.[/quote]

How is mommy selling your cookies for you teaching them about leadership?[/quote]

NP. You understand that cookie sales is a small part of scouting, and it is primarily meant to be a fundraiser, right? These are children. Some work independently, some work with friends, some also have the support of their parents. It's fine.[/quote]
