$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]

[b]DP here, the young scouts are not allowed to opt out of the cookie sales rewards. [/b] I believe it's Cadettes and older who can do so, and the decision must be unanimous within the troop (no prizes for anyone).  Your cookie parent has this info. [/quote]

My daughter's in her second year of Daisies, and they've opted out of prizes both years.[/quote]

you cannot opt out at that age.  For wahtever reason, the troop cookie manager may not be collecting the prizes but the daisies will not get a bump in earnings.   singed-a troop cookie manager.[/quote]

While I value your expertise, it is possible that PP's Daisy troop opted out.  I'm part of a community troop that includes Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors under the same troop number.  We meet at the same time, but split the girls up by the levels for meeting activities.  But for troop activities, like camping or cookie booths, we're all together.  Our troop has, in the past, opted out of prizes for the bump on earnings, which would include the Daisy troop.[/quote]
