I believe Troop 6000 is also using the Scout Digital Cookie platform, for online sales.

I'm all for the cash donation angle here. The actual amount the girls get from cookie sales is really low. This year in my daughter's troop it was 18%.
Rock on, Troop 6000!

Mod note: If we want to talk about the effectiveness of this kind of thing, that’s fine, but put the effort into writing a comment or contextualizing a link. Thanks.

All Thin Mints are vegan - both Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers. (Also, ABC Bakers' Lemonades, Thanks-A-Lot, S'mores, and Peanut Butter Patties are all vegan. But Troop 6000 is in a council that uses Little Brownie.)

I’m heading over to make a donation after writing this. If the page shows a “this site uses cookies” pop up I will squeal with joy.

Thank you for this touching and inspiring post.
But dear god, 100,000 homeless children in New York City.
I just hang my head in shame.

...100,000 homeless children...

This is one shitty society we live in.
Part of me wants to just send a cash donation.
But Thin Mints!
There would be less guilt with only buying one box of cookies and a donation in the amount of the cost of the second box.
And fewer calories!
There. All rationalized. Where's my charge card?

My box arrived today, and the thin mints went straight into the freezer.

Now that cookie season is over and I don't have to smile and nod at all the customers and their insanity, I must ask: WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS. Just eat them! EAT THEM.

Yep, better frozen. I prefer refrigerated Samoas to room temperature ones, too.

Harumph. I shall try to be more open minded. I thought all you freezer people were storing them to eat later.
