It’s that time of year again – several of my friends are
sharing on social media that we should all boycott Girl Scout cookies because
the proceeds go to Planned Parenthood. Whether you approve of PP or not, you
should know there’s absolutely no truth to the rumor that the cookie money ends
up there. In fact, 100% of the proceeds from cookie sales stays with the
local council and troops. Girl Scout troops
set and strive for sales goals and decide how to spend their earnings on
program-related activities, such as paying their own way to a community event
or a local museum. Girl Scout troops may also choose to use proceeds to
purchase materials for a troop project or to fund a service project to benefit
the community. The Girl Scouts of the United States of America were founded March 12, 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low to promote compassion, courage,
confidence, character, leadership, entrepreneurship, and active citizenship.
