The discussion revolves around the experience of purchasing Girl Guide cookies at the mall, highlighting confusion over the absence of popular varieties like Thin Mints and Samoas, which have been renamed in Canada. Participants express nostalgia for these cookies, sharing recipes and personal anecdotes about their appeal. There is a notable difference in cookie selections between the U.S. and Canada, with Canadians feeling deprived of certain flavors. The conversation touches on the fundraising aspect of cookie sales, revealing that a small portion of the proceeds goes to the girls' troops, while most funds support administrative costs. Some participants express frustration over the perceived inequity in how funds are allocated, while others emphasize their love for the cookies despite these concerns. The thread also includes humorous comparisons of cookie addiction to substance use, underscoring the cultural significance of these treats.

I don't care if they are made in the same manner as Slurm from Futurama, and delivered by indentured servants, they taste too good to care.

We have lots of grand-nieces, and my wife gets suckered into buying cookies every year. The last year or so, she has managed not to pay for those over-priced treats that we don't need, but I'm not claiming victory. She has "adopted" the grand-daughters of our neighbors and will do anything for them, and the elder one is approaching GS age. Ack!

Really?

Whose staff and buildings? GG head office?

The way it runs in the US, troops are grouped together into Councils. The Council where I am covers about 1/6 of Washington state. Each council has an office space, and too dang many employees, IMHO.

I suppose there are levels of organization above the Council level, all the way up to the National office (and beyond?), but I don't know about that first hand.
