Troop 6000 was founded in 2016 to give girls living in New York City’s homeless shelters a chance to be Girl Scouts, and this year, the girls of Troup 6000 finally get to sell cookies for the first time.
Selling cookies door to door would be logistically difficult for these girls since they have no place to store their cookie inventory (any mom who has had to sell Thin Mints knows these boxes can and will take over your living room). Luckily, a cereal cafe located in Manhattan’s Union Square has offered them a space to set up shop, and New Yorkers have been showing up in droves to help them reach their pretty lofty sale goal.
In honour of their troop number, the nearly two dozen members wanted to sell a total of 6,000 boxes of cookies. That may seem ambitious, but getting good sales is all about location and Union Square is pretty ideal. Plus, the people of New York love their Thin Mints?especially when it’s for a worthy cause. The proceeds of the cookie sales will allow Troop 6000 to participate in trips and activities that would normally be out of their parents’ budgets. Check out this lineup of people who came out to support the Girl Scouts:
