Of course it's about the money. The troop gets 30 cents for every $3 box and uses it to fund activities throughout the year. Could be fun stuff, could be patch-earning stuff, could be a community service project, it's up to the troop. None of the girls HAS to sell cookies, but if you don't, it's the troop's prerogative to keep track of who earned what and make parents of non-sellers foot the bill for the stuff they do. Only fair.

Trust me; we've been selling these little goodies for 7 years now.

And I sold 'em for 8 years when I was a girl, too.

This year we have:
Caramel Delites (my favorite)
Thin Mints
Shortbreads
Lemonades
Thank You's
Peanut Butter Patties
PB Sandwiches
Cinna-Spins

If anyone is cookie-deprived, I'd be happy to send you a box.
