Try to pretend like you don’t see them, if that fails or a parent ropes you in, ask about a cookie they don’t sell, but that sounds like something they would; express mild disappointment about the absence of it, then keep on going.
Huh? I thought it was the girl guides that sold cookies made in a factory somewhere…. ah … right …. Christie’s took over baking Girl Guide cookies in 1953 but lost the contract in 2002 to Dare Foods.
“That’s pretty overpriced, isn’t it?” works for me in non-front door situations. “How much actually goes to your troop?” “Are the scouts now allowing gay troop leaders?” type questions are good at the front door.
1. Not really, most of it goes back to scouting. If you would rather, we accept donations.
2. 28% goes to the local pack, a total of 73% goes to the local council/district/pack. 100% of your donation goes to the pack.
3. Yes… as long as they are reverent.
Being an atheist will only get you in as a parent helper at most.
Check out the Law and Promise, either your local version or the International Brotherhood (that includes sisters except in some Muslim countries or the USofA))
Dummies by me keep setting up by the entrance door, when they should be setting up near the exit so that people can see them when they walk in and get cash for when they walk out.
Who carries cash these days?
(Do the Boy/Girl scouts take debit/credit cards? I don’t even know.)
It sucked being a Boy Scout and every year selling stupid crap. Girl Scouts got like a thousand flavors of cookie crack that everybody wants, and we were stuck selling frigging popcorn. BOO! BOOOOO!
Over here in Oz they tend to sell sausage sammiches and fizzy drinks. I don’t see how that can possibly be a bad thing, and usually buy one. Who knows, perhaps the snags really are made of Boy Scout, but probably not. From taste, I think they’re made by the local German Butcher out of good Aussie beef.
“Hail Hydra”?
“Never give up, never surrender!”

And Girl Scouts, in the States, is a completely different cookie thing all together.
“Boy scout cookies? are they made with real pieces of boy scout? no? oh, well, no thanks then”.
“I wasn’t prepared for this line of questioning.”
Do Boy Scouts understand irony? Kudos to you for trying that line when posing for someone who’s motto is Always be prepared.
The American Boy Scouts motto is simply “Be prepared”.
Thanks for the correction.
Doesn’t affect the irony of the question.

Being gay is now more-or-less okay in most packs; being an atheist is still dubious.

Is it just me, or would Adam get along well with JaidenAnimations?
