Like someone above said they won't accept the donations. The Girl Scouts of America won't underwrite/sponsor the activities if they don't sell the cookies. So if the girls do something the cookie money and dues help defray the costs, if they don't sell the cookies they don't get anything at reduced rates.MysteryChickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15406590353438694687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-48761137536196918562012-01-05T14:50:50.916-05:002012-01-05T14:50:50.916-05:00You can always buy the cheap "clone" coo...You can always buy the cheap "clone" cookies and dress up as a girl scout and sell them for $3.50 ea then donate the profits to the charity... hmmm... now that I think on it if "you" dress up do it as a catholic schoolgirl and you can charge $10 a box ;-)Warped Mind of Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15670039992710968421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-86127561467892729202012-01-05T13:26:39.407-05:002012-01-05T13:26:39.407-05:00I tried to write them a check last year as you sug...I tried to write them a check last year as you suggested, but they couldn't take it.

Ugh. I hated sitting in a booth at the grocery store or at a winery asking every person who walked by if they wanted to buy a box of girl scout cookies. Talk about a lesson in humilation. Selling calanders was worse becuase no one wanted one but I hated selling cookies with a passion too. <br><br>As an adult I always buy some, in part because of my experience doing and also becuase Hubbs has to have somoas. Personally I just want one box of peanut butter ones and that's it.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09220501618341536837noreply@blogger.com
