As the pandemic wore into the spring selling season, many troops nixed their traditional cookie booths for safety reasons.
Latham said troops in her area sold 805,000 boxes of cookies last year; this year, they sold just under 600,000. That shortfall means the council may not be able to invest in infrastructure improvements at its camps or fill some staff positions, she said. As a result, around 15 million boxes of cookies were left over as the cookie season wound down. Most — around 12 million boxes — remain with the two bakers, Louisville, Kentucky-based Little Brownie Bakers and Brownsburg, Indiana-based ABC Bakers. Another 3 million boxes are in the hands of the Girl Scout councils, which are scrambling to sell or donate them. The cookies have a 12-month shelf life.
Clark and some other local leaders were able to avert a cookie stockpile because they calculated their own sales projections instead of relying on guidance from the national office. Clark believes a new technology platform adopted by the Girl Scouts isn’t adequately forecasting membership declines and their impact. In April, she sued the Girl Scouts of the USA because she doesn’t want to her council to be forced to use that platform.
Go woke, stay broke.

Bullshit. They're just awful, dried up cookies and people are sick of being harassed to buy them in every Publix parking lot.

Thinner Mints: Girl Scouts have millions of unsold cookiesThe Girl Scouts have an unusual problem this year: 15 million boxes of unsold cookies. “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. Maybe Amazon will distribute for you? Amazon, don't charge the Girl Scouts shipping and write it off as a charitable contribution. Support girls! I guess those transgender thin mints aren't selling.
