Lol! There are lessons to be learned from selling cookies and using the sales from that to cover troop outings. The troops get to keep the money. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about and “working in retail” doesn’t give you a pass…sorry!

Per the article: “Girl Scouts is much more than just selling cookies, they offer programs ranging from financial literacy to outdoor activities, to help girls like Neely navigate through life as a teen.”

It teaches them entrepreneur skills which is incredibly valuable if a Girl Scout dreams of starting a business. Source: I’m a Girl Scout volunteer.
