We cannot require a family to pay their own way for field trips if they don\u2019t participate in the cookie sale. It risks GSUSA\u2019s tax status. We CAN accept a donation if they offer but it can\u2019t be required. Some councils (mine is not one) allows for fund partitioning with prior approval for big trips for older girls but that\u2019s the only exception.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Karen&#8217;s input: <span class=\" UFICommentActorAndBody\"> <span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody\">If the family is offering, maybe they can make a troop donation that&#8217;s comparable to the average earnings. (e.g. PGA is 100 boxes, girls earn 60\u00a2\/box, average earning is $60.) I&#8217;d also suggest that they make a donation to the council, since it benefits from cookie sales as well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wendy&#8217;s idea: <span class=\" UFICommentActorAndBody\"><span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody\">We highly encourage girls who don&#8217;t sell cookies to participate in booths. Otherwise, there&#8217;s not much you can do. It&#8217;s against GSUSA bylaws to require cookie sale participation OR make them pay their way. Cookie profits belong to the whole troop, not just the girls who earned it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Carly&#8217;s troop: <span class=\" UFICommentActorAndBody\"><span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody\">We make a per-girl budget. We show parents at their cookie training what funds are used for and how much each girl \u201ccosts\u201d the troop to ENCOURAGE participation in cookie sales. If they want to opt out they have an idea of what a donation to the troop could look like. I\u2019ve never had anyone opt out.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Autumn: When Girl Scouts opt out of cookie sales <span class=\" UFICommentActorAndBody\"><span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody\">have them do a different type of fundraiser.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Libby suggest: <span class=\" UFICommentActorAndBody\"><span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody\">If they don\u2019t want cookies, have them make a purchase for the Cookie Share program. The girls get Cookie credit, the troop gets funds, and cookies are donate.
