"Reed, 36, first decided to help trans Girl Scouts sell their boxes in 2022 upon discovering that the non-profit's inclusion policy allows trans youngsters to join. She revealed in a Thursday (22 January) blog post that this year's curated list of nearly 200 Girl Scouts members had already helped them to sell a combined 71,254 boxes. This year's boxes are priced at $6, meaning the drive has helped to raise an estimated sum of at least $427,524 in just three weeks."
"While Reed said there was no way of knowing how many of those boxes were sold as a direct result of the campaign, she noted her list had been seen by over 2 million people on Facebook alone, adding that its reach has been "enormous." "With weeks still left in the season, [the number of boxes sold] is certain to climb even higher," she said."
An annual curated drive connected buyers with nearly 200 transgender and non-binary Girl Scouts, resulting in sales of 71,254 cookie boxes in three weeks. Boxes priced at $6 generated an estimated minimum of $427,524 for those scouts. The campaign began in 2022 after discovery of the Girl Scouts' inclusion policy that permits trans youngsters to join. The curated list reached over 2 million people on Facebook and was described as having enormous reach, with sales expected to rise as the season continues. The drive offered a rare source of joy amid increasing legislative attacks on trans youth, including bans on gender-affirming care in many states.
