My scouts sold for many years. Past customers sought us out. I made my kids do the selling themselves, so I would not buy from an adult who asked.

If people say they want cookies I send them the link to her site which has another message from her. I want her doing all much selling as possible.

But I'll also say people definitely want them. A friend passed along my daughter's link to one of her friends and that person bought 20 boxes from a girl she's never met.


We have a policy that you cannot sell anything at work- which I love. However I agree that some people seek them out. I still remember overhearing a discussion between coworkers about how they could get around the rule to get their cookie fix. Was the parking lot ok? Did they need to meet on the corner?

You do understand that is how fundraisers work, no?

Agree. If neighborhood girls knock on my door, I’ll buy a couple boxes to support their efforts and send them into my DHs work, but that’s it. I’m not ordering otherwise.

I buy them from any and every girl that asks me to. Unless they are at a cookie booth and do not have means of accepting credit cards, cash apps, etc.
