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.
By early spring, when troops usually set up booths to sell cookies in person, U.S. coronavirus cases were still near their peak. Hundreds of girls opted not to sell cookies in person. Online sales and even a delivery partnership with Grubhub failed to make up the difference.As a result, around 15 million boxes of cookies were left over as the cookie season wound down.
“Without girls, there is no cookie program. Unfortunately, it took a global pandemic to bring all the problems to the surface,” said Agenia Clark, president and CEO of Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee, a local council. There were other reasons for the declining sales. Some local leaders say they might have sold cookies this year but chose not to because of anGina Verdibello, a troop leader in Jersey City, New Jersey, said her 21-member troop, which has girls ranging in age from 10 to 15, decided to boycott this year’s cookie program and held a protest at their city hall. Verdibello said she knows of at least a dozen other troops that opted not to sell because of the palm oil issue.
In the end, local councils won’t be held financially responsible for the 12 million boxes that remain at the two bakers. Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers said they are working with the Girl Scouts to sell or donate cookies to places like food banks and the military. The bakers can’t sell directly to grocers because that might diminish the importance of the annual cookie sales. But they may sell to institutional buyers like prisons.
Come back and sell them off season.
FINALLY SOMETHIN WE DONT HAVE A SHORTAGE IF LOL SEND EM MA WAY
Well, if they weren't so expensive!.
Ebay sales quick or post up somewhere. I know if I seen you out I'd buy ✅🤩🤩😍😍⭐⭐
They would’ve been straight all they had to do was Sell dat sh*t to me🥲🥲🥲
I never had the opportunity to purchase any. Maybe that’s the problem. They didn’t try hard enough to sell to the public like they usually have in the past.
It’s not like they’re making them available for sale to the general public so —
Our men and woman serving would love them I'm sure.
People don’t want to support the liberal actions taken by the Girl Scouts.
so ? not do it now?
I’m confused as to why millions of boxes were made . So many people out of work, many factories cutting back on workforce / production and somehow it became essential to produce millions of boxes of Girl Scout cookies. Someone doesn’t get a foresight badge this year.
🤲🏼
They are crap!
Donate them to food banks and first responders. 😀
Those cookies aren't as good as they used to be. You would think they would be great by now. And kids are to lazy these days to sell them
Okay, fine, give them to me. The Lemonades at least.
If they really good at heart donate them MF.
Maybe they shouldn’t have supported Amy Covid Barrett

What a huge step to give to the poor now…
