[quote=Anonymous]Becsus this bodes all cost the same (except for the gluten free and the s’mores), the ones that are more expensive to bake have fewer cookies per box.

And to respond to PP about the 50 cents, that’s incorrect.  Cookies and packaging cost $1.  Of the remaining $3, $.70 goes to the individual troop.  The other $2.30 is split between the Council (which, in this area, covers the great DC area) and the Service Unit (which usually covers a couple schools).  The Service Unit uses the money to subsidize things like camping trips and the Council uses it for scholarships, to maintain the many GS camps, and for stuff like the program kits (eg, telescopes that can be checked out by troops for stargazing programs, etc.)

It’s not like MLM because it’s not a pyramid scheme.  As far as fundraisers go, I find it less bothersome than the overpriced Boy Scout popcorn, the wrapping paper stuff, and the fancy balls that charities throw were they spend as much as they take in so that people can go someplace in formal wear “for a good cause.”  But that’s just me.[/quote]
