jsharr Posted February 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2020 I am about to post a link to the cookie order page for a friend's daughter. Mae's father is the Cubmaster of Pack 262. Mae's mother is her Girl Scout leader. The whole family is awesome and always doing things in the neighborhood. Dad is on his last year of work contract and contract will not be renewed. Mom got laid off yesterday from Fossil, where she was employed for the last 10 years. Mae already met her cookie goal, but with the change in mom's employment status, she upped her goal to 1200 boxes of cookies so she can go to summer camp for free. Please consider buying a box or two, or donating a box or two or ten. I just donated 10 boxes through her page. https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/mae989256?fbclid=IwAR33BSlsJxqyM29bbgvq-FjWixRYgzgSV78RmwdmyOBZszhESZdzLgFQBb8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can, but that does not help this young lady meet her lofty goal of going to camp through cookie sales. I often make cash donations to youth groups selling products, or washing cars, or whatever, but in this case, I bought cookies to help Mae meet her goal. I donated them, so hopefully the cookies get donated to Troops or First Responders and the proceeds help Care To Share, which helps families in need.

I think the commission to the scout or unit is about 10% and yes a week at scout camp, depending on the camp, can run $600. My son is going to Philmont soon and it will end up costing us $1000 to send him for a week long trip. His group is doing Cavalcade, so they will be on horseback, but still in the back country.
