Probably a safety related change
Comment on Girl Scouts are ramping up their tactics

They don’t even go door-to-door anymore, not in my area at least.
They always just set up camp in the parking lot outside some store … usually a store that also sells cookies, cheaper ones with more variety.

Yeah they haven’t gone door to door in decades where I live. I can’t remember is they ever did actually.
Sometimes at work a Girl Scout parent will ask you to buy some. I remember buying cans of nuts though, not cookies. And yeah they set up a little table by the entrance to a grocery store. Some people say they like certain types of their cookies, which they apparently can’t get at the grocery store which also sells many cookies. I don’t like cookies and so I don’t know shit about cookies. But that’s where they sell them.

My brother sold nuts through Boy Scouts, and they now call themselves Scouting America so that girls can be involved, so maybe that’s where the nuts came from? I don’t think I’ve heard of any Girl Scout troop not selling cookies; it’s a big deal and the main fundraising for activities. Unfortunately.

My mom is an accountant, used to do auditing for the state. The leader of my girl scout troop asked her to be the treasurer of the troop one year. Turn out, the leader had been embezzling our cookie money, like, the whole time. It wasn’t even well covered-up. Took my mom all of two seconds to figure it out.

Yay child labor?

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to send a bunch girls door to door in America these days.
Beside the whole free labor thing, it only takes 1 sicko to ruin everything…

I saw a flyer with a QR on it to order girl scout cookies.

At this point, I think the girls are kind of unnecessary in their whole cookie-selling business and could probably be replaced by AI agents.
