[quote=Anonymous]People complain about the cookie sales all the time, but they fund all of the activities so that parents don't have to pay the huge dues that they have to pay for other organizations. We pay $25/year to the national organization for annual membership, but for the troop itself, we paid $25 in Kindergarten as start up dues, and have never had to pay for anything else because the girls have earned enough fall product and cookie money to:
1. Buy their uniforms, badges, patches, and awards every year
2. Buy the supplies necessary for their meetings used to earn those badges, patches, and awards
3. Go camping two weekends every year
4. Take one weekend trip to a different city every year as they got older (NYC, Philadelphia, etc.)
5. Do countless "field trip" type activities - horseback riding, rock climbing, dog sledding, Maryland science center, etc.
6. Fund donations to a variety of non-profits

and countless other things. They're all really motivated to sell because they know it's the only way they're going to be able to continue to do these fun things.[/quote]
