They’re everywhere — on door-
hope he comest steps, at shopping centers and
anks, in dormitory lounges, in
he Memorial Student Center.
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

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.”
