I won’t buy any either. (I always thought they were over-priced, mediocre cookies anyway....never understood what the fuss was about.)
Then after WW1 they kept baking cookies to sell to support their troop activities. Back then girls baking cookies was considered a useful domestic skill and a harmless and even enjoyable treat people could buy to teach the girls the value of work and skills in setting goals
In WW2 cookies went n hiatus due to butter, sugar and flour rationing, but then many GS helped in Red Cross and other paramilitary organizations, bond drives etc
after WW2 cookies returned but as a commercial bakery product as more women now were working, and out of the home and kitchen
and it continued from there
The girls in our Council alone have sent tens of thousands of boxes of GS cookies to troops overseas and the USO cupboard at BWI airport is full of GS cookies given to troops and families passing through...all purchased with money donated to and by mostly 7-11 yr old girls while they are selling cookies
We have yet to hear of a troop who spit at them, called them names or refused a box of donated cookies because of the national CEO’s presence at conferences attended by “planned parenthood”
and BTW National gets no proceeds from cookie sales, except from the bakery that pays royalties for the logo and name. All cookie money goes to local Councils and troops and virtually none have any dealing with Planned Parenthood. I know neither ours nor the 2 neighboring Councils do
