Love those cookies! Both of my kids were or are scouts. And oddly, I was on my way to summer camp with a car load of scouts when we drive by the weinermobile north of Madison, WI. No cookies, though.

Cookies from the Girl Scouts and popcorn from the Boy Scouts- both worthwhile investments beyond the nutritional value.

I remember being a boy scout – good times but I don’t remember selling anything except at ‘bob-a-job’ week!

‘Bob-a-Job’ was a week, in April I think when Boy Scouts went knocking on doors to see if any jobs needed doing for a price of a ‘bob’, which was an old English shilling (about 5p today, or about 6cents). It was pure luck if you got an easy task like sweeping the back yard or something more onerous like digging over the vegetable patch. All money raised went to Scout funds. I doubt that it would be allowed these days, it would be considered too dangerous in an age when we have so little trust!

I like the Trefoils and the Samoas, Beth! Those G.S. cookies were part of my childhood. Mom liked the thin mints. My own daughter (oldest one) liked selling them to go to summer camp. Yummy and always good to help out the scouts. :)

Gee, some people take the fun out of everything. I loved the Wiener Whistles; I guess they’re worth a fortune now at antique stores. They’re selling on ebay for $4 or so.
