Each year our scouts pick a cookie adventure. This adventure is an overnight or day trip that would typically be too costly without being supplemented by cookie funds.
Last year our goal was an average of 200 packages per girl, with a stretch goal of 325 packages per girl. Our girls surpassed this goal with an average of 272 packages sold per girl! Our Brownies in particular knocked it out of the park by exceeding the stretch goal at an average of 332 packages per girl.
