It was the Cub Scouts. I just donated 10 bucks and said no to the popcorn. Cookies may have been very costly to me | |||

I said the same thing as the op back in the 90's. I was ashamed of selling the overpriced popcorn. I was told "that's the girls thing, popcorn is the guys thing" Now that girls can be boys and boys can be girls ..... I wonder if ...... | |||

Honestly, the popcorn isn't that great. I'd just as soon give the $20 directly to the troop. (And then I'd spend $12 more on three boxes of Thin Mints!)  God bless America. | |||

They got screwed. The popcorn is overpriced and meh. They ought to get into the cookie business, non vegan like the girl scout ones used to be, and they ought to sell them all year long. They'd make a killing. | |||

At the sales, I always give a donation, but opt out on the "prize" always hoping they get to keep it all for the troop. _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K. Chesterton | |||

Once they let the girls in... well, it's no longer the Boy Scouts and I'm no longer as willing to cough up some money for them. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

That'll really teach those kids.  "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

Our troop used to sell frozen pizzas. We made a lot more money selling those than we ever did selling popcorn and people seemed genuinely happy to buy the pizza. Most people who bought the popcorn I think did it because they just wanted to help the Boy Scouts. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

After spending 2 hours in entrance of Walmart yesterday I have to say amen...they boys did great, $450+ in popcorn but with the exception of the 18 pack it's not very good popcorn. I was very surprised how many people "bought" probably 1 in 7.... Mind you my boy in his uniform is "adorable"...or maybe it was the fetching Den Master in shorts that drew them in  | |||
