#girl scout cookies

PLEASE buy from people who have not filled their goals!

Did you know that for a long time, Girl Scouts has openly included transgender and nonbinary individuals in its membership? I first learned of this four years ago while searching for a source for my annual Girl Scout cookie purchase. At that time, a wave of anti-trans sentiment was intensifying, prompting me to seek out transgender Girl Scouts from whom to order. One major benefit of their online ordering system is that it allows for trans girl scouts to sell their cookies with relative privacy and no contact between the scout and the purchaser when it comes to online orders.

My initial effort was a success, meeting the goals of every single scout featured on the page. The achievement felt wonderful during what seemed like one of the most severe legislative attacks on transgender children in recent memory. Unbeknownst to us, each subsequent year would bring greater such attacks. Since then, every year I've repeated this initiative, we've surpassed our previous sales, leading to coverage in multiple major media outlets.

It is that time of year again. I have reached out to the families on my list to gather girl scouts to purchase cookies from. Please consider choosing a trans girl scout to get your cookies from this year - the kids are under attack this year more than ever, so lets give them some joy.

haven't seen anyone post this yet this year so friendly reminder that you can use the girl scout cookie tracker to find cookie booths in your area if you don't know any kiddos who are selling

PSA from a former girl scout who sold cookies well into middle school: this girl scout cookie season, PLEASE consider buying at least some of your cookies from older scouts instead of concentrating all your attention on the adorable little brownies selling in front of walmart I beg of you. it is incredibly demoralizing to be trying to raise money for like, silver/gold award projects, international trips etc and get fucking nowhere just because you're no longer cute. this isn't to say "don't ever buy from younger scouts" just that. you know. everyone does, so maybe switch it up a little.

if you're also trying to support trans scouts this year, the 2024 trans girl scout cookie seller list is a good place to find older kids/teens who are selling.

This is an ✨️opt in✨️ list. Every trans Girl Scout on this list has affirmatively chosen to be listed.

As she does every year, Erin Reed is gathering the names of trans Girl Scouts to buy cookies from! I reiterate that every participant on this list is doing so with their full consent and the consent of their parents.

Please support these trans Scouts!

Reminders for Girl Scout Cookie Season

Do not mention your diet to the girls. These are girls still developing their relationships with food. They don't need to hear about your diet, you're not having them in the house because you will binge eat them and other disordered eating behaviors.

Cookies are how many troops fund their activities for the entire year. Yes, it's cute but it enables troops, especially in low-income areas, to do the activities to obtain badges and generally have 'the Girl Scout experience'.

Girls get credit for the cookies sold/ badges, rewards, etc. It is also to teach them sales, how to talk to people, and social skills.

Reminder to support older girls! It gets harder once you're not a brownie anymore and activities are so much more expensive.

Girls get 80 cents per box of cookies as of 2022. The rest goes to the council. However, if you donate to the troop, they get to keep ALL of it. I always buy a box so they get the sale but also donate the equivalent amount to the troop so they have the money to be able to take trips and do activities.

Help I took too much ibuprofen, saw a picture of a Thin Mint cookie, and am now wondering if Gallifrey has an equivalent of Girl Scout where a bunch of Time Tots go around trying to sell cookies or whatever to grown up Time Lords who are equally excited for cookie season.

Just thinking about Borusa rolling up to Beta Shrigma and Costco's cookie stand and ordering 20 boxes of the Shortbread of Rassilon.
