Well it’s that time of year again; Girl Scouts are out and about selling their cookies. I have personal experience with this because my sisters are in the Girl Scouts and they have a goal.
They each want to sell something like 120 boxes of cookies and we only have so many neighbors. I think it’s silly to try to win a prize like what they want. They have both selected a junky little bag with some brushes and a stuffed elephant! That’s a lot of work for a tooky toy.
But, then I learned the true reason why the girls sell the cookies, it turns out that all the money doesn’t just go to the troop. The troop only gets 50 cents per box and the rest goes to the Girl Scout Council to help poor girls that can’t afford to be in Girl Scouts. The money raised from cookies allows them to join and be part of a group and stay active.
My sisters and the rest of the Girl Scouts all work very hard at selling these cookies, and my Mom is pressuring me to buy some to help them out. This isn’t a big deal to me because I love Girl Scout cookies, and I think you do too. So, when a little girl comes to your door asking if you would like to buy some cookies, keep in mind the girls that they help.
Now, to the top selling cookies on the Girl Scout cookie list. (TOP 5)
1. Thin Mints
2. Samoas
3. Do-Si-Dos
4. Trefoils
5. Lemons
What is my personal favorite? I love the lemons!
I have tried all of them and my fav’s are the Thin Mint. Gotta love ‘em.
oh i look forwaRD TO WHEN THEY COME KNOCKIN AT MY DOOR
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the samoas. They are amazing! Whenever the girls scouts come around, I always buy 3 boxes of samoas and two of the thin mints. Being a girl scouts when I was younger myself, I think the organization is a great way to teach girls to be confidents, build relationships, and help the community.
