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.
Gross. One thing I heard from my parents as well as generally on the internet is that the Girl Scouts have waaaay less national support from the organization than Scouting America. As in, they have way fewer resources and can’t afford to provide a lot of support for individual troops. So I can’t say I’m surprised. Part of me thinks it’s a gendered issue; part of me thinks it’s because BSA/SA have Mormon support; maybe there are also some other factors. But it has always rubbed me the wrong way that Girl Scouts get shafted.
Yay child labor?
