The Girl Scouts have an unusual problem this year: 15 million boxes of unsold cookies.
The 109-year-old organization says the coronavirus — not thinner demand for Thin Mints — is the main culprit. As the pandemic wore into the spring selling season, many troops nixed their traditional cookie booths for safety reasons.
“This is unfortunate, but given this is a girl-driven program and the majority of cookies are sold in-person, it was to be expected,” said Kelly Parisi, a spokeswoman for Girl Scouts of the USA.
The impact will be felt by local councils and troops, who depend on the cookie sales to fund programming, travel, camps and other activities. The Girl Scouts normally sell around 200 million boxes of cookies per year, or around $800 million worth.
DO NOT BUY THEM. Look, if the Boy Scouts need to accept girls and become just “the Scouts” then we need to destroy the Girls Scouts, too. How come they get to have their group but the boys do not? By the way, “Boy’s Life” magazine is now just “Scout’s Life”.
BS. … go woke go broke
Boyscout on my list too
I usually buy a few boxes a year but didn’t come across any to buy this year. Truthfully we hate them. I think they taste horrible and most ended up in the trash but would buy to support the girls They should try selling candles instead
Yes but they have a great idea to sell them off this summer, Kissing Booths!
Kiss a little girl on the lips and get a box of thin mints too!
The new “Woke” leader of Girl Scouts came up with this idea when he/she was in the girls bathroom adjusting his manhood so it didn’t show as much as Michelle Obama’s.
His neighbor is a registered sex offender and helped him come up with this idea. Leader George-tte is taking credit for the idea though.
George-ette made this announcement for “Pride” month while he/she was on the Liberal Bullshit show, “The View”.
The virus likely played a role. But the leadership was responsible for ordering the cookies to start with.
A secondary reason may be that more people are aware that same leadership has turned them into the Woke Scouts. The traditional door-to-door model is in decline due to safety concerns, among others. I bypass the card table in front of store sellers because of the Woke factor.
Finally, the product itself isn’t as tasty as before and due to fewer cookies is now kind of expensive.
Fond memories, but nope to Woke.
So cookies continued to be produced in factories yet other resources we need (steel, lumber, etc) was shut down.
Ohhhh kaaaaaaaaaay!
Do not buy them until the girl scout organization divests themself of planned parenthood.
Don’t worry . The oc mayor will have a stqnd on theboard
Maybe if they didn’t cost an arm and a leg, they would sell some, They are ridiculously overpriced,
Biden will store them in his basement !!!!!
