John Pfaff: So today I learned about Girl Scout Troop 6000, a Girl Scout troop entirely of girls living in NYC homeless shelters. I also learned that you can buy all your Girl Scout cookies directly from them on-line. Which I just did. And, if anyone else wishes to, can be done here:

This is a friend of mine, though she's recently moved to Florida and is just starting a new Girl Scout troop there. They've had their first meeting. www.girlscouts.org/en/tips-for-...

This is fantastic. Girl Scouts has a program called Girl Scouts Beyond Bars that creates troops of girls and their incarcerated mothers. They also have troops in children's hospitals. It's pretty great.

Girl scout troops only get $1/box sold.... the rest of it goes to the manufacturers, distributors and the Girl Scout org. If they really are homeless, you're better off donating to the shelter directly.

Or people can do both and get some cookies and help girls feel empowered and involved in an activity they enjoy in a difficult and unstable time.

Yes! They certainly can! And it's also wonderful that the girls get to do be in girl scouts and have all those experiences.

I will be, too!!! Thank you!

Thanks for the reminder! I buy cookies from any Girl Scout who crosses my path, but this is my very favorite troop!

Girl Scout troops get a pitiful amount of money from cookies. I’m a sucker for Thin Mints and Samoas, but please also consider just throwing a couple of $$ the way of any scouts you come across. (There are girl troops in “Boy Scouts” too, although they typically sell popcorn instead of cookies.)

This! How much profit does the bakery make from these cookies?

Delivery to Canada doesn’t seem to be a thing unfortunately but I will spread the word anyway!

This world man. I just watched my kids class musical performance. A hundred well fed well healed kids living in a lavish zip code. And there’s kids in shelters trying to sell Girl Scout cookies. My fucking heart can’t take this world sometimes. I donated.

I mean of course I've gotta do it to help them out! The cookies are just an added bonus at that point

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you for reminding me to support that troop whose mothers are behind bars (fun fact: a lot of em are there for killing their abusers!) www.girlscoutsosw.org/en/get-invol...
