Good for them, but I bet if you checked with the national office of the Girl Scouts, they would tell you not to do so. That is what happened to Move America Forward. They purchased thousands of dollars worth of cookies from a local chapter in California. They advertised it all over the radio station that Melanie Morgan works for. When the Girl Scouts of America found out, they sent the letter to Move America Forward to stop using their cookies and their name.

The forms, flyers and posters for the Taste of Home program CAME from the national office. I'm the Troop Cookie mom, I know where all the paperwork comes from.

It sounds to me like Move America Forward was using the GS name without express permission from GS and was not doing this in affiliation with GS. That's a shame, I agree, but if they did it without express permission it's understandable.
