Only around $0.50 per box goes to your local troop, and from my experience with Scouts, that's actually highballing it. <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/02/06/girl-scout-cookies-by-the-numbers-just-where-do-all-those-dolla/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/02/06/girl-scout-cookies-by-the-numbers-just-where-do-all-those-dolla/</a></p> <p>(You might wonder why someone who doesn't support GS would advise you how to increase your support for the organization. It's because a) fundraising needs to be more transparent, so I want to point out the reality of cookie sale profits when I can; and b) even if I personally don't agree with it, I think it's great for people to support the local organizations they believe in.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014301 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:19:25 +0000 dc yoga bee 2014301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Wow, interesting read! Do you know how much goes to the Girl Scout if you buy in person? I also wonder if this is typical of online ordering (I.e 60 cents only to the troop). The pension part response was kind of suspicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014226 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 18:07:11 +0000 Torchwood 2014226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The problem is that the vast majority of that money is not going to a good cause. It's part of why shipping is so high, so that less of the money actually goes to the girls. The Bloggess had a lot to say about it recently, and I was shocked at how crappy the Girl Scouts are being.<br /> <a href="http://thebloggess.com/2014/12/an-open-letter-to-the-girl-scouts/" rel="nofollow">http://thebloggess.com/2014/12/an-open-letter-to-the-girl-scouts/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014220 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 18:01:31 +0000 HabesBabe 2014220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy smokes, that's expensive for shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014211 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:54:25 +0000 rrachael 2014211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thin Mints and Samoas - yum!</p> <p>I can't see paying shipping on them though :/ That kinda stinks. I'll wait until they are outside my grocery store ^_^ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014175 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:29:15 +0000 coopsmama 2014175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thin mints are my favorite! Mmmmm. I'd never had a Girl Scout cookie until last year when my husband brought home. I quickly became a fan ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014118 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:48:10 +0000 bunnylove08 2014118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: totally not... remember its for a good cause! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014117 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:47:32 +0000 dc yoga bee 2014117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: And they will just ship them directly to me?

So... one is pushing for the online order so he doesnt have to deal and the other one only does on a if you ask basis.</p> <p>I'm thinking of enrolling DD so I can satisfy my cookie needs and plus I love selling stuff LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014076 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:25:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2014076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: well that's annoying!

This is her first year so I wasn't aware that you could buy them online. Her troop at first said they weren't going to sell cookies (which is why I went with them - instead of another troop - I hate selling stuff). I'm hoping my husband can sell a lot at work. Although I'm sure I'll buy my fair share of thin mints - yummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014037 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 15:50:52 +0000 bunnylove08 2014037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: If you need a link I can wall you :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014034 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 15:50:10 +0000 Mamaof2 2014034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: @mediagirl: yep I just googled it :silly: </p> <p>It says you need to get an email invitation from a GS to order them online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014028 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 15:48:58 +0000 mediagirl 2014028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I think, and I'm not totally positive about this but I think when ordering online, your order goes to a specific scout. It does seem to take the "work" out of it for the kid, though. I hope they still sell them in front of Walmart, the grocery stores, etc so I can get them w/o shipping costs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-scout-cookies-2#post-2014005 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 15:34:31 +0000 dc yoga bee 2014005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know any parents of Girl Scouts anymore.
