When I was a kid in Girl Scouts, there was no standing in front of grocery stores or parents taking the forms to work with them. We were forced to go door-to-door haranguing our neighbors like some jr willy lomans or something. Well, that's how I felt about it anyway. I hated being forced to go up and down the street basically begging people to spend money they didn't have on stupid cookies. At that age, what I liked about Girl Scouts was going to meetings once a week on the way home from school (less time I had to be at home that day). Once I got older then the camping and backpacking started in 9th grade, which I loved of course and by then we left the begging the neighbors to buy cookies to the younger scouts! I don't even buy their cookies anymore. They're probably up to $10 a box by now, I haven't seen any yet this year.
