If it helps put it in context, cookie sales are how our Girl Scout troop raises money for the entire year. We have a quarter of our girls on financial aid (I know because I’m a leader), and without cookies we wouldn’t be able to afford badges, supplies, take our girls camping, do service projects, or go on field trips. Our troop also donates about a quarter of our annual sales to a local food bank every year.

They mostly have their mom post a go fund me type message on social media for them. The girls don’t seem to do any work.

I don’t get door sales anymore. I only see online links and booths at stores.

They do, but my Girl Scout only goes to neighbors and family, and sells at booths outside supermarkets. The cookie sales season is cold (Dec-Jan for pre booth sales) and most people don't answer their door, so it's not a great experience or return.

My first grader did. We’re in the city and hit up all of our immediate neighbors, and just skipped a few specific houses.

My kid went door to door. Definitely went to people she didn’t know. The last few years she did door hangers because of Covid and that was much less successful.

Mine did.

They do.

Why only who they know? Adult present makes sense. One came to my door this week so it happens still. I knew her though.

The ingredients they use are just horrible.
They should do better.

Just curious if that’s not a thing anynore.
