MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota – Upset over For Sale signs at some of their favorite campgrounds, Girl Scouts in Minnesota are saying if you sell our camps, we won’t sell your cookies.
The national spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of the USA explained the difficult decision to sell camps to consolidate 312 local councils into 112 is due to a gradual decline in members and tight funding.
Another attempt to tighten their budget is the council’s decision to sell only six kinds of cookies this year. So if you have a favorite, this is the year to hoard them.
Elizabeth Zaiman has broken records selling cookies over the past two years. Even though she has sold more than 600 boxes, this year she decided not to sell them because she didn’t want the money to go to her council.
