It’s the annual invasion of the lirl Scouts, set loose to tempt re- idents of Bryan-College Station vith seven types of cookies: 'ooey-sweet coconut samoas, thin :ool mints, creamy chocolate, ^ anilla and peanut butter sand- k-' • rich cookies, chocolate-peanut putter patties and shortbread and anola cookies. > And response has been good. The girls in District 1, made up of 89 troops from Bryan-College sure an improit. Station, have already sold more pan 5,700 cases of cookies in their Mike Saw 24th annual sale. ' Besides the monetary gain from pis sale — 10 cents from each j(1.50 box goes to the troop, the rest to the district’s council and me cookie company — the girls profit emotionally, Bonnie Tull, iroop leader and mother of an 8- iear-old-scout, said. As a parent, she said she wasn’t o comment abd! ent husiastic about her child sell- ; student body,3 door to door ' , ., f l j , But after seeing some ot the ;side of badntfc enthusiasin oft h e gir i s , y can seethe motive,” she said. “It does develop a sense of achievement and accomplishment ... that’s what the Girl Scouts are striving Toward — a sense of accomplish ment and involvement in the com- 'urity to David Wifed provide and maintain the scouts’ camping facilities and equipment. Embarrassed or not, the 934 scouts in Bryan-College Station are peddling their cookies diffe rently from the past. They took orders from Jan. 16 to Jan. 25, in stead of approaching homes cookies in hand, ready to sell. They will deliver orders and sell extras until Wednesday. Pam Pivonka, district cookie chairman, said this new method of selling cookies hasn’t hurt sales, although the girls prefer the old way of selling cookies. “They didn’t like it as much this year,” she said. “They like to have their cookies when they knock on doors.” Thirteen-year-old Molly agrees. “It’s better when you go and have the cookies already there, because most of the people, when you go, say ‘Well, we want our cookies now. We’re hungry. The girls have run into some other problems because of pre ordering. Kim and Molly said they can’t always find the right apartments and that some people who pre order aren’t home or refuse to pay when the cookies are delivered. “Sometimes they’re rude and then they close the door on us,” Kim said. “But usually they’re pretty nice.” Molly said, “They say ‘Well, we didn’t think it’s going to take so long’ and ‘We don’t have enough money’ and they make up all these excuses, so we have tons of cookies sitting at home.” Sometimes “tons of cookies sit ting at home” is too much to resist. “We steal them. Well, we don’t steal them, we just take them,” Molly said. Kim added, “And then my mom pays for them after we eat them.” Before 1933, mothers of Girl Scouts probably didn’t have this problem. Today’s tradition of sell ing cookies began that year when the president of a cookie company was asked to bake and package cookies for the Girl Scouts. For several years before that, the girls baked the cookies themselves. Now, each trooper in District 1 is expected to sell at least two cases, 24 boxes, of cookies. There are prizes for selling extra cases —- t-shirts, patches and coupons good for credit on Girl Scout equip ment, dues and camp fees. Last year, one girl sold enough cookies, over 100 cases, to pay her way to camp. That must be what the leaders mean when they say “accomplish ment.” nizations, a its because i graduating tb :ernity.”lami es put graduate lecauseiflarunn education is tb college.
