My daughter's brownie troop has set a goal of 250 boxes each so that they may go to Seaworld:roll: I am making her go around and ask evryone at my work to help by buying boxes. Well, right now she saw me surfing this site and when I explained what Sowal was her little eyes lit up and she said PPPPLLLLLEEEEAAASSSSEEEE ask them to buy cookies from me. So - no pressure but if any locals would like some we would love to sell some to you to help her troop - and you will get a personal note from her. Please let me know. I can post list tomorrow and every box is $3.50.
Many thanks in advance from a hopeful troop.

Jennifer SteeleBeach Fanatic2282 Scenic 30A West1,472 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticHey, this reminds me...I ordered cookies last year and never received them (not from anybody on this board, though).
Chickpea, I'm in for more cookies this year. I'll PM you.

A reliable friend and girlscout leader just informed me that girlscouts are not allowed to sell on the internet for safety reasons - which makes sense - so apologies for posting this - when my daughter asked me I just said SURE without thinking and this is all very new to me as I am not american!

I think we as adults are OK - but the girls are not allowed to set up websites themselves and/or solicit online. JohnR posted a link to Ebay on the other GS cookie thread- people are selling cookies on Ebay! If people you know pm or e-mail you for cookies, to me that is fine. And infinitely safer than our kids going door to door selling to strangers.

Have you three ladies (I mean girls) hit the Publix stores yet. There are three in the area. ;-) Based on location of your homes, I am assigning the PCB to you, InletBchDwllr. Chickybaby, you get the WaterColor Publix, and Jen-nay, you are assigned the Sandestin location of Publix.

I think SmileyJ gets a cookie patch for his efforts to organize us.
We will be selling cookies at a yet-to-be-determined location when the cookies are in- March, I think. This is pre-order time. The fun hasn't even really started yet.:rolling:

I refuse to take Kate on door-to-door sales calls anyway. Good grief- she is only 5 years old. Talk about burning out a young salesperson at a young age!! However, she will help me deliver cookie orders and thank the buyers in person, which to me is the more valuable lesson at this age- showing gratitude and appreciation.

I think the sales hook is the table loaded with boxes, and lots of cute little girls standing there with the mothers and their big mouths. 😀

However, there are many people who buy the cookies because the girls are too cute to turn down. You just cannot break a little girl's heart.
"Hey Mister," says the little Daisy Scout in a sad voice with a look of disappointment, "Do you really want to see me cry? :( You must buy my cookies or I will be very sad for the rest of the day."
