It took me me five minutes, two websites (national & district), and two-sub-pages to get to a very challenging little spreadsheet! Now, it really does list all the info you need to find a scout and her table of sweets, but it also requires that you be available to get there during those hours. Another challenge to this model is that we can’t always be sure our scout will have the type of cookie we’re craving when we get there (I’ve had this happen more than once).

But back to the websites for a sec… sigh…, there were no links ANYWHERE to the cookies for troops program (which is what I was searching for in the first place). My point, of course, is that there’s got to be a way to bring cookie to consumer more effectively a) so scouts can raise more money, and b) so girls can still have a powerful introduction to business.

But again folks, Amy’s right — You can, indeed use this tool, and with a little elbow grease and good timing, you’ll be able to enjoy those Samoas real soon!
