Girl Scout Cookies
Since the girls are all about cookies, what do the boy scouts sell?My boys were in Boy Scouts......but how much of the sales of Girl Scout cookies goes to the local Girl Scout troop?
Girl Scout Cookies
They're a fraud. I've learned that they are not actually made out of genuine Girl Scouts.
It is a shakedown using cute little kids.I fucking HATE girl scout cookie selling season. They have a display as you enter nearly every market. The parents watch as their cute little kid attempts to "guilt" you into buying a box of their shitty cookies and then you have to endure the looks of disdain from the parental units that are thinking to themselves "What a cheap bastard"....not ever knowing that I could provide dessert for an entire platoon of hungry Marines that subsisted on MREs during the last week of boot camp for a month from all the cookies that have yet to be consumed from yester-year I have socked away. The bottom line is that you have to pace yourself on this shit.
It's a constant beat down...fellow employees that have a child in the Scouts shoving one of their "How Many Can I Put You Down For?" sheets and taking the money in advance. It's such a fucking shakedown operation that would make the Mafia think "Maybe this is a better approach?". It's a shameless operation of "guilting" and it's high time that we see this little operation for what it is......anyone else agree?
Popcorn--sweet or savory. At least they were for awhile. Sadly, where I now work, no one has kids/grandkids in scouts. It got a little expensive during cookie season but it was worth it. The Thin Mints hold well in the freezer and the Samoas....well, around me they don't last long enough to worry about.Since the girls are all about cookies, what do the boy scouts sell?My boys were in Boy Scouts......but how much of the sales of Girl Scout cookies goes to the local Girl Scout troop?
God bless you and both organizations always!!!

P.S. To me, if certain kids do not see themselves as a member of the gender that they were born as, both them females and male should be in a group together completely separate from the other two. It can be like the award shows. You never see a group or a duo nominated for the Male Artist of the Year award or the Female Artist of the Year award.

My boys were in scouts. They used to sell Trails End Popcorn. The troop would sell over $4000 in popcorn and the troop would end up with about $800. Lot of work for $800.Popcorn--sweet or savory.

Good thinkin'! Our church auxiliary sells wreaths at Christmas time and makes a bundle off them. Since they're all donated, except for the bow, it's all profit.My boys were in scouts.

We ended up dumping the popcorn sales and selling Christmas wreaths. We would buy bare wreaths in bulk and then decorate them ourselves. We would set up in town Thanksgiving weekend and the weekend after with the boys walking around in Santa hats and a big smile carrying wreaths for $20.
We would make $2500 over two weekends and fund ourselves for the year.
