My troop has done ALOT of fundraising this year and we leave for Washington, D.C. tomorrow (6-6-02). Here's what we did. Our council allows us to seek "sponsors" in our local community. You can't say, "will you give us a donation" but you can say, "would you be interested in sponsoring our troop?" It's a stupid way of getting to the same point but doing it by the "Girl Scout" way. If your troop is looking to raise a lot of money here's a suggestion: Put together a cookbook and have it published by Cookbook Publishers. They send you the whole kit free. Order it and just see if it's something you'd want to do. www.cookbookpublishers.com They were great to us and we sold the books for $5.00 a piece and made a lot of money. Our books had over 250 recipes which is really easy to do if you have each girl gives a recipe sheet to everyone they know and ask for a recipe. Then you can sell each of those people a book because people like seeing their name published. Good luck!

Nope! They don't bake them or do any of the work for them but they have no problem letting us do it! You really don't want to know my whole opinion of the Girl Scout Organization because lately I don't have anything nice to say. If you would like to contact them you can and I'll get you the website address but I doubt you'll get anywhere. If it's not self serving for their needs then they don't bother.

Although the EMS fundraiser sounds great we as Girl Scouts are not allowed to do it. It's against the "Rules" to sell someone elses product.

Hi there! You want a good fundraiser with a great profit margin that also involves the parents? Do a cookbook. I am a girl scout leader and was very nervous about doing this but took the chance and it is working to our advantage. Have all of your parents contribute enough recipes for at least 250. The company I used is Cookbook Publishers (you can find them on the internet) and they have been really great. I know you have boyscouts but you would be surprised how well it works out. My troop has recently put together and had a cookbook published! It has over 250 recipes and is really great! If anyone is interested in purchasing one please e-mail us at troop734@aol.com. The cost is $7.00 plus $2.00 for shipping. It's really great so don't miss out! As I said, give it a try! If you'd like to contact me about it please feel free to e-mail me. Thanks!
