what do girl scouts do other than selling cookies?
they are community-oriented and learn how to function within team settings. not all the cookie money goes back to the ultimate girl scout people. the troop gets to keep a certain percentage. m's troop last year donated the money to habitat for humanity. i'm not sure if they've picked out where to donate this year.
they can also earn badges based on projects, which are either community-oriented or good for personal growth/values.
