Girl Scout sells cookies outside Portland pot shop

Local chefs will take Girl Scout Cookies and transform them into mouth-watering desserts.

Is this the kind of thing the Girl Scouts are really down with?

In any case, the girls had their cookies placed on a table with a sign that read, “Satisfy Your Munchies”.

The Girl Scout set up shop with her aunt outside the Foster Buds Marijuana Dispensary in Portland Saturday and the pair said they expected to quickly reach their goal of selling 35 boxes.

For thousands of young women in Utah, Girl Scout cookies are a sweet lesson in success.

Thompson says because Sage is home schooled, she started off very shy and sold 400 boxes of cookies. I can be a cool parent for a little bit. Set up a stand outside a pot dispensary. Along the way, they’re learning about business ethics, money management, goal setting, decision making, and of course people skills. It’s all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective? Our girls use these funds for community service projects, to save for fun and educational troop experiences and outings, and to provide funding for girls who otherwise can’t afford to be Girl Scouts.

If customers came in with a box of cookies, Foster Buds would offer their own “special” Girl Scout Cookie strain at a discount on their Instagram.

As the girl scout, who remained unnamed, made her pitch, the girls’ aunt supervised nearby. Selling cookies isn’t mandatory, but profits help pay for the local groups’ activities.
