[quote=Anonymous]In our council, you earn $0.65 per box, with the potential to earn more if you sell more (we earned $0.68 per box) or forego the fun rewards.  (which the girls love.)  It can add up - our troop raised about $1,000 from cookie sales, which can pay for a lot of stuff and help keep dues low.

We have families cover their own: council dues ($25) and basic uniform and basic badges (troop numbers, council badge, flag, trefoil pin, etc.)  We cover everything else, though occasionally we have a fee for a field trip.  We charged $60 for dues last year.  Badge costs are increasing dramatically next year so we may cut back from 2 meetings most months to 1 badge meeting per month, plus some non-badging activities.

Out of 18 girls in our troop, 16 sold cookies.  A few girls only sold at the booth, but most did individual sales ranging from about 10 boxes to over 200.  We sold to the houses on our block, family members and coworkers, and I also posted on Facebook - my friends bought a ton of boxes.  A lot of folks chose to donate boxes to AFAC, a local food bank, and some donated money.  It was worthwhile but quite a bit of effort for the cookie mom (me.)[/quote]
