Some neighbors came by with their daughters yesterday selling the cookies. My daughters used to sell all kinds of stuff for school and our neighbors always buy. I had no choice but to buy. On the other hand, both my daughters got pulled from girl scouts years ago because I didn’t trust the organization. Gotta choose your battles.
Personally, I think it is time to tell the neighbors no and tell them why.
Is there a way to support a troop without sending money to the big brass and planned parenthood? I do not eat cookies, but I know a few girl scouts who are from good conservative homes. A couple of the moms were girl scouts when they were young, so it’s a lovely tradition for them. They cannot help the way the top spends their money any more than we can help how much money goes to radical Islamamists via our leadership. It would make the situations less awkward if I knew a good way to offer support.
