[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My beef with door to door, as the parent of a local Girl Scout, is the timing.  It’s literally during one of the worst possible times of year for selling cookies: we’re busy with holiday stuff AND people are already full of their own holiday cookies. [/b] Add the pandemic weirdness around masking (our neighborhood has been obsessive about masking outdoors) and it’s not an enticing prospect.

My DD happily does the booths and isn’t over the top at all.  She’ll ask if people walk up and look interested, but that’s about it.[/quote]

Totally agree. Plus the weather is horrible. Who wants to be walking around selling cookies in January. [/quote]

We’ve in GSCM so our sales are late October - December.  GSUSA keeps threatening to make us move to winter and I am DREADING that!
I have no idea why the whole country doesn’t do fall sales. Weather is better, people are in a “let’s but treats mood”, and now we have the money much earlier on the troop year[/quote]

GSCNC's cookie timing is horrible.  No one has time to sell cookies over the holidays.  They should either do it in the fall or start in January not December.  Everyone in our service unit is always complaining.  [/quote]

Yes, it's TERRIBLE. We barely sold anything this year.[/quote]

Cookie season doesn’t end until 3/12. This is just the initial order for the first delivery. You can keep selling.  The problem is once booths start on 2/3, everyone is getting asked at the Giant etc. and peoples interest goes way down.

We just had our annual meeting round table at our SU meeting and every group bemoaned the cookie dates. DD has been in GS for many years now and the start date keeps moving earlier and earlier. It’s super annoying.
