For anyone who knows -- is this a replacement of cookies, or just an off-season fundraiser? A couple of girl scouts just came to the front door this afternoon selling nuts. Is it nationwide, or is this just local? I didn't want to take their time by looking at everything, because it's just not feasible to buy anything in our current financial situation, but I'm intrigued. Does anyone else know anything about this?

You didn't buy anything? In North Yorkshire they'd have already put a brick through your window; the little scamps. Or maybe that's just the boy scouts...
Hmm...*looks distracted and disappears out the door*

I'm a girl scout. It's not a replacement and it must be nationwide because we sell that stuff here too. Fear not, the cookies do still exist.

Must have something to do with that silly song I posted on the other side of the forum about the gooblers, do you remember Papa Moose?

I used to sell the nuts and the cookies when I was a girl scout in Michigan 10-15 years ago. Nuts = fall, cookies = winter. I think.

The nuts must be regional.(ha ha) Or, they might be optional, because we have never sold them here. I have never been offered nuts. For sale.
OK, thank you so much, Papa Moose, for making it virtually impossible to respond to your question without digging myself in deeper.

Yup, nuts, fruit, wrapping paper etc. are in the fall fundraising drive and cookies are in the spring. Not all troops participate in the fall drive, but the cookie drive is manditory, I think.

My troop only sold the cookies... Of course, my mother was the scout leader, and couldn't get any assistant leader, so she felt that the cookes were enough, thank you very much.
And all girl scouts/scout leaders should watch Troop Beverly Hills. It should be mandatory for the leaders to watch it before cookie sales.

Girls Scouts are littered with nuts. Really. Have you ever met a girl scout leader? No one is nuttier than one of those people, and they always scared the bajeebes out of me.

Nuts/Candy/Magazines are an off-season fund-raiser. Cookie sale starts around thanksgiving this year. And yes, the nuts are kosher (as far as I know).
I know 'cuz I am a nut...I mean Girl Scout.
Does anyone want to buy any? *bats eyelashes* My GS troop is saving up for our senior trip. We're going to London next summer. Posts: 4174 | Registered: Sep 2003

If you cooked the product of one girl scout with the girl scout herself, that wouldn't be kosher, would it?

Err, Erik, if there are lactating Girl Scouts, cooking them won't be necessary to make things not "kosher." Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

[Dear, Hatrackers, please pretend that this incredibly witty reply came as the first response to Papa Moose's post, as that will thoroughly increase your enjoyment of my zany, off-the-cuff humor.]
