[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor took our order but didn’t collect money. Are you SURE you need payment upfront and not just the orders? [/quote]

[b]Op here. Yes. I need to write a check or give the cash prior to the order going in.

I was a Girl Scout for like 6 years. We got an assortment of 150 cookies and then could sell them. What was wrong with that way? Im debating doing this so my dd could sell but I am afraid of getting stuck with unsold cookies. [/quote]

Nope, if you're in the nation's capital region, your troop leaders are doing it wrong. Money doesn't get taken out of the troop checking account until after the cookies are delivered. [/quote]

Agree.

Op- you either misunderstood or your troop leader misunderstands the protocol.

Who is your cookie manager? Start there instead of the troop leader. The cookie manager goes through a mini traing and knows more than the troop leader in this area.[/quote]

This. The troop can NOT require you to pay up front. It's against the rules. They should have had you sign a cookie permission slip that says you are financially responsible for any cookies you take.

I will also note that troop leaders can't require you to sell a certain number of boxes or to even sell at all. They also can't put raised funds in separate accounts for each scout at the Brownie level. It's all in one account. They can't ding you for not selling.[/quote]
