Michigan girl scout sells record number of cookies
Andrew Norton
15-year-old Jennifer Sharpe has a future in sales from the looks of her cookie selling success. She sold 17,328 boxes of cookies from a Dearborn street corner. That's a lot of Thin Mints and Samoas :).
Ever wonder where the money raised from cookie sales goes?
The revenue raised from cookie sales remains in the local area in which it was sold. Per GirlScouts.org -
This revenue is used to benefit girls, some of it directly by remaining in the Girl Scout troop/group treasury and some of it indirectly by subsidizing the cost of providing the Girl Scout program in the local area.
