[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Selling Girl Scout cookies doesn’t teach girls a damn thing except how to be underpaid worker bees for Corporate America.  Each troop gets less than $1 per box.  This is just a freaking scam that uses cute girls to sell overpriced mass produced cookies to well meaning suckers.[/quote]

This is really false information.  The Council gets $3-4 a box.  The council then uses that to support all the troops in the DC area including funding the wonderful campgrounds, and various program activities that your troop should be taking advantage of.  Also “be a sister to every Girl Scout” by supporting other troops — don’t just focus on what your specific troop is getting.

Separately, no parent should be selling on social media.  This is actually prohibited by our Council, as is using neighborhood listserves and Nextdoor to sell.  Girls can send emails directly to friends and family, go door to door, call friends or family, or do booth sales (approved private or through the council system).  [/quote]
