If they're anything like the GS cookies I've eaten in the past they are safe because they were baked ten years ago. LOL

I have a girl scout. We still sell door to door. The girls are required to take a parent with them even when you are selling on your street and know the neighbors. For the last two years, we have been given cookies instead of taking orders. It is more difficult to pull a wagon around with a variety of cookies boxes. We don't always have time to go door to door when the weather is nice. We also do booths in front of stores. The stores have to give permission. I'm sure there have been some complaints because some of the stores have put restrictions on selling. Pammyfaye, my dad agreed with you about cookie sales. He would never take stuff like that to work to sell it. Dh does take cookies to work, but he just leaves them in the break rooom on the honor system or gives them away. I try not to pimp my kids for fundraisers. I know various organizations need money so usually I just donate money instead of doing the fundraiser. Girl Scout cookies are something people request so I let dd sell them. She will never be a high seller because I don't believe in going to extremes to sell.

I haven't tasted the "Toffeetastic" cookies but TBH just about every gluten free commercially produced cookie I've tasted is indeed a "gluten free wasteland". A home economics class I used to assist did make some really good gluten free chocolate chip cookies but they're the only ones I've ever tasted that I would eat on purpose. Glad to see Mike Rowe's watchers responded to the tune of over 7,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. I'd love to see that lot being delivered :-)

Eld61621 ... DD was in Girl Scouts from Brownies through most of Cadettes. I was a leader or co leader for Brownies and Juniors. DH was Packmaster for the local Cub Scouts and it seemed like I wore the hat of everything else. Award chair mostly. Parental involvement was difficult to get even back in the 80's. One year DH led a group of Webelos because no leader could be found. He was also leading our DS's Den at the time. DD has good memories of Girl Scouts despite the usual glitches of some crazy leaders and cliques. She had hoped for the same experience for DGD. But the new program is just nowhere near as interesting as it once was. Plenty of leaders and girls complain it is just like school. Now Girls Scouts are allowing, even encouraging mixed level troops. The Troop DGD would have been in would have been a mix of Daisies and Juniors. Some of the Juniors would be bridging to Cadettes the following year. DGD would have been the youngest and the only Kindergartener in the Daisy group of 8. As DD learned more of the leader's plan she saw a train wreck ahead. The leader decided all the parents would take turns leading the two levels. Sure they will. ROTFLMBO She has a girl in each and wanted them to do the same things as much as possible. A 1st and a 4th grader. Shaking my head. Never been in scouts, didn't want anyone harshing on her mellow with constructive advice. Then she decided all the paperwork was overwhelming and wanted to have DD do it for her so she could "lead". See the problem? DD felt she would be left picking up the pieces after the train derailed. The Journeys are boring. The crafts were all that would have mattered to DGD. They are friends. DD is open to the friendship remaining outside of scouts but she concluded there was zero hope if she stayed on out of guilt.
