In San Diego they also have something called "Operatin Thin Mint". You can purchase cookies that are then sent to the troops. Helps out the girl scout, they still get their cut for the cookies, and they go to the troops. Plus then I'm not tempted to eat more than my one box allotment for the year.

Ours are only $4.00 a box and more importantly...we have Samoas.
We also added the Lemon Chalet Cremes this year which have been selling nicely.
We have taken donations for the troops for the past 3 years too. We ship ours through "Packages from Home". Last year alone, our troop was able to ship over 100 boxes overseas. PFH loves using our cookies as "filler" since they can only ship completely filled boxes.
I know I complain ALOT about doing the cookies sales every year, but it does offer our troop so many possibilities. They saved their cookie money for 2 years and did a sleepover at Sea World. Coming from AZ, that was a really big deal. They saved their money last year so we could afford another weekend away this year. You all would be amazed at home much it all adds up to.
There is one troop that has saved their money for years and are planning on going to Europe when they are old enough. I'm not sure where our girls are wanting to go, but they have talked about doing a DL weekend or a spa weekend here in AZ.
It is great for them to learn how to set goals and how to manage money. I just wish I didn't have to deal with it every year
