My jaw is still dropped to the floor. I just opened my duaghter's girl scouts page and saw over 200 boxes purchased from your readers, Erin. I have goosebumps all over. Wow. Thank you for filling her with the most joy. She might reach her goal (that I told her might be a "bit much") of 2500 boxes sold after all! Haha! Thank you all you beautiful people!!!

I was a Girl Scout leader a couple of years ago. I didn’t appreciate beforehand how really amazing the Girl Scout program is. But it is really and awesome organization.

Thank you so much for doing this each year, Erin! I always and only now buy from the Girl Scouts you link to. I try to support as many of them as I can!

Also, thank you for all you do every day. It's a tough road these days, I know. My trans daughter and I both follow you and appreciate your diligent, hard work and your dedication. You're a true gem!

As a former Girl Scout growing up in Texas in the 70's, I'm excited and proud to learn of their support for transgender and nonbinary kids. I've ordered 6 boxes and might get some more later. Thanks for sharing these links!

I appreciate the option of $6 and donate cookies. No shipping charge. My mind struggles with the fact that the cookie company is the big winner with all the free labor, sales and marketing. That being said I will use the donation option.

I’d love to buy from a Texan as that is where I live AND I can be sure certain ones are vegan (two different bakeries serve the US). So if any Girl Scout is comfy to reveal their texanness lemme know!

This is so heartwarming! I hardly ever have local Girl Scouts come door-to-door anymore, and as the mom of a trans daughter (grown), I am so proud to be able to support a trans girl scout! Thanks so much for sharing this information. PS - I'm also proud of the Girl Scout organization for their inclusivity. My blood runs green after being a leader and statewide council member for decades.

I always order 12 boxes, one for each month. So happy I could order from a trans girl to help her troop! Totally worth the shipping.

My daughter and I were just overcome with emotion, looking at all of the people from all over the country who have bought cookies from her. This is truly an example of a (relatively) small act of kindness having a HUGE impact. My daughter said to me "Wow, I feel so special!" Thank you everyone who has shared this post and thank you Erin for being the one to bring all of these people together in this loving space!
