Many of 你 may not know this but I'm a Girl Scout. I've been in scouts since I was five and have been in it for almost 11 years. Anyway, we're getting closer to that time of 年 when we girl scouts take part in an honored tradition. Yep, it's time for Girl Scout cookies. Girl Scout 饼干 are sold in the U.S. between January and March. If 你 don't know about Girl Scout cookies, I'll give 你 a quick run down:
The tradition started around 1930 in Philadelphia when Girl Scouts began making 饼干 and selling them out of their homes. Girl Scouts of America(GSA)saw this and decided to have Girl Scouts everywhere do this too. We use the money from cookie sales to go on trips and do other fun things. Today we have eight varieties of cookies: Thin Mints, 焦糖 deLites, 花生 牛油, 黄油 Patties, 花生 牛油, 黄油 Sandwiches, Lemonades, Shortbread, Thanks-a-lots, and our newest cookie, 雏菊, 黛西 Go Rounds. Some of the 饼干 have different names in other states but they all basically taste the same.
Anyway, my mom is the leader of two Girl Scout troops and because of this she is also "cookie mom". This means that for a 月 our dining room becomes a cookie warehouse. At the moment we have about 120+ cases in our dining room. As I write moms and their daughters are hauling away cases, eager to sell! sell! sell!
Most of the time we have fun selling 饼干 but there are times when we can get stressed out. For example, once I had to sell 饼干 in a CVS 由 myself for about 4 hours. I was selling the same 日 as Super Bowl so everyone and their mother was at 首页 preparing to watch the game. I ended up only selling 9 boxes. Another time my troop was set up to sell at WalMart but the folks at WalMart didn't want us selling inside the store. So we had to stand outside in the freezing cold selling 饼干 to people who wouldn't even linger outside for just moment to buy 饼干 because it was so cold. Despite the crappy moments in selling the 总体, 整体 outcome is always rewarding. Selling 饼干 is part of the reason why I've stayed in Girl Scouts so long. Most girls quit around 12 或者 13 but I stuck with it because it always felt rewarding when I sold a box. I know that each box I sell will benefit me in the end.
If 你 know a Girl Scout, please buy 饼干 from them. If 你 don't know any, be on the lookout malls and banks, we'll be there. If 你 don't like cookies, donate money. If 你 have a shop, let a troop sell 饼干 there. Please do whatever 你 can to support the Girl Scout cause. We'll appreciate it.
