$3.50? $4.00? Both of my daughters are in the GS and they sell them for $3.00/box and fifty cents of that goes into their local troop.
My daughter is as well. $4.00 is what they are selling them for which beats my son having to sell frozen dough for 12.00 for baseball fund raisers.
I used to be a "cookie mom." The cookies (Oakland County, MI) still sold for $3, but we learned that they were going for $3.50 in the Detroit council because of -- tada! -- financial mismanagement. They hiked the price of their cookies to pay for their incompetence.
I always swore I'd never sell cookies for more than $3 a box. We moved the next year and my daughter is out of the Girl Scouts so it's no longer an issue.
I'll buy thin mints and the peanut butter patties but I draw the line at $4. Keebler grasshoppers are good enough to ease the Thin Mint addiction and they're available all year long.
I wish I were by you. However, I believe that the cookies cost the troops the same amount. If they're charging $3.50, then the troop should be getting one dollar. (Can't swear that this is true, but it should be what is happening.)
