Why can't we simply sponsor these girls to do something good . . . visit a nursing home, run a mile, train a dog, plant a flower bed in the community. Why cookies??

It's a catch-22, isn't it? Because buying these cookies does, in essence, sponsor these girls in doing good things for themselves and their communities. I haven't bought Girl Scout cookies in several years (but I sold thousands of boxes of them as a kid), but I do write a check to my local Girl Scout council every year because I do want to support the good things that I believe they do for the girls, and through those girls, for the community.
