[quote=Anonymous]My DD is not selling this year after selling in 2022, 2023 and 2024. After covid, they really benefited from decreased Girl Scout participation and customers eager for interaction and community. In 2021 and 22, her troop had wildly good booth sales and broke all sorts of records. In 2022 and 2023, DD was old enough and brave enough to take orders door to door and sold almost 100 boxes in a neighborhood of maybe 35 houses. In 2024, her sales were down 30% as were the rest of the troops. People just weren’t enthusiastic or supportive as they had been in the past and in our area troop enrollment was way up, so sales were diluted across a greater number of Girl Scouts. It didn’t help that she has a few girls in her troops with very wealthy families who solicit cash donations for cookie orders to go to the military. I’m grateful that it supports the troop and the organization and that so many people are generous with their cash. But it was a reality check for little girls who were at every booth and walking around in the cold rain to sell 500 boxes to realize that their friends were credited with 2000+ boxes with way less effort.

DD realized that she was playing a losing game and decided to stop selling. I’m sad and relieved.[/quote]
