That's what I do for their candies. Does freak 'em out, don't it.

I wish the Boy Scouts shilled something good to eat. When I was a
scout, we sold fireworks to raise money, but the safety police have
screwed that up. I just send them a check directly, thereby avoiding
all that PC bullshit from United Way.

We enjoy their microwave popcorn. Good stuff, nearly all the kernels
pop and not too much fake butter flavor.

We eat too many boxes of the girlscout Samoas and Thin Mints to count.
I think there are about six boxes still in the freezer. Husband brought
home nuts and chocolate mint candies (rather like Frango mints) a few
months back.

Most troops I've been aware of put on an annual spaghetti dinner. Have
you checked to see if your local troops do something along the same
lines?

Our troop didn't put on a dinner, but we acted as waitstaff/bussboys
to our Elks Lodge when they put their huge annual spaghetti dinner.
They were the primary sponsor of our troop.

My son never made it as far as scouts, just cubs. The leaders of the local cub
pack were a married couple, a couple of knobs. They were always on his case
about things, not that he was an angel, but they just didn't like him at all.
The last straw was when they had a bicycle safety rodeo and Mrs. Cubleader said
in a loud voice in front of him and everyone else "Don't let this kid anywhere
near a road on a bicycle". I don't think he was that bad. I used to ride all
over the place with him. We would cycle for miles and I never had to worry
about him. I never cared much for either one of those two dinks and I
seriously think that they were judging him on the basis of their negative
attitude towards him. He was a very witty kid and did not get along with their
not surprisingly knobby kid. Ironically, it was their son who got himself
killed in a car accident.

The organization attracts some real ******s! My son's troop did a trip from
upstate NY to Hershey, PA and a few other places down there. The leader was
a woman who had her head up her ass. When we arrived at the church to
depart, she had arranged for the priest to bless the troop and the trip. OK.
Fine. One Buddhist kid didn't say "amen", and she ripped him a new a-hole.
She then said we were to follow her on this 5 hour ride, convoy style, which
only crazy people think is a good idea. She chose the worst possible route,
a two-lane country road populated by an endless series of gravel trucks
which nobody could seem to pass. After an hour of going up mountains at 20
mph, breathing diesel fumes, I managed to pass the whole convoy. We spotted
the restaurant which was our first stopping point, and when she arrived, she
attempted to rip ME a new a-hole. The trip did NOT go well from that point
on. Two days later, we were at a scout camp which was 10 minutes from route
81, a real highway. It was pouring rain, and she planned to go back to the
nasty country road. I told her I'd be taking the highway. She told me there
was a buddy system, so I could not take a different route back unless there
was another car with me. I gave her 15 minutes to find one. She didn't. The
rest of the sheep took 8 hours to get home.

Oh...and my son had been camping since he was like 2. He'd set up tents in
rain & high winds lots of times with his parents. The leader was showing the
kids how to set up their tents, and taking forever as the temp was dropping
and darkness was near. My son took matters into his own hands and had his
tent up, with the help of another kid, in about two minutes. He got yelled
at for not listening.

But, the last straw was when the BSA eliminated the merit badge for
Unitarians, which my son was sorta kinda trying to get.

Yeah, but the goal is to teach boys how to be men, not sheep, which is what
some of the leaders believe.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully, an isolated case and not represetative
of the organization as a whole. After 3-4 yrs as a Cub Scout and 3 as
a Boy Scout, I finally quit due to blatant nepotism within our troop.
But, while I regret that incident, I can't default an organization
that taught me many meaningful lessons in life, gave me a lifelong
love of the outdoors, and provided my with many great memories.
Unfortunately, like any organization, it can only be as good as the
people running it at any given time.

I can't respect any group that chooses to dump on a religion (Unitarianism)
because the U-church accepts gays. If I wanted my son hanging with
neanderthals, I'd take him to Republican party gatherings.

Until the city started recycling, the cub scouts had newspaper
collections. Made a fair amount of money with it. They also had an
annual pack dinner with the father-son cake decorating contest.
Auctioned off the cakes.

Our Scouts sell Trail's End popcorn in its many incarnations: kettle corn,
popping corn, "Unbelievable Butter" microwave popcorn, "Butter Light"
microwave popcorn, Chocolaty Caramel Crunch; Gourmet Caramel Corn with
Almonds and Pecans.

The proceeds pay for all camps & outings and helps keep registration fees
down. Each scout who sells popcorn gets the profit that he brings in
credited toward the cost of whatever Jamboree they are raising funds to
attend. So the kid who goes out and sells $1000 worth for 2 years running
probably gets to go to Jamboree without his/her parents having to spend any
money. The kid who sells nothing or whose parents buy one $15 box has to
dish out a small fortune in Jamboree fees. Our colony/pack/troop sell over
$15,000 worth each year in our town of 7500.

Trail's End also has established a scholarship program. Each kid who sells
above a certain amount has money deposited in his name into a scholarship
account that he/she will be able to access when he/she goes to university or
college.

Flour, butter, sugar (cane or beet), real vanilla, real cocoa, real
fruit flavours, etc.
No hydrogenated fats or articicial colours and flavours, strange
stabilizers and preservations you would never use for homecooking, etc..

Food products are ok, when the ingredient list looks like your own
recipe at home.

They're called Samoas. Those were my favorite for a long time, but I'm
finding myself less interested in overly sweet coconut foods
(especially desserts) lately. Maybe it's my growing interest in cooking
with coconut milk, which impart the flavor but isn't so sickeningly
sweet and chewy.

My favorites now are the chocolate-covered peanut butter patties, but
frozen. They taste like frozen reese cups with a bonus cookie part!
They make 2 kinfd of PB cookies - Tagalongs and Do-Si-Dos. I THINK
these are the tagalongs but I'm not sure.

It's March around here. Interestingly, over on the Illinois side it's a
much different time, like in the fall, so we get a second shot at
cookies from the parents who live over there. I'm not sure if that's
good or not.

Yeah, Tagalongs, those are my favorite, too ... haven't had the
? Trefoils in a long long time, those are the shortbread. On
vacation a girl scout was selling cookies outside the Win Dixie,
got a box of thin mints ... I haven't had those in forever either,

On some message boards people insist there are cheaper versions of thin
mints available year round. I disagree!! NO other cookie is quite as
perfect as the dark chocolate wafer with the chocolate mint coating of
the Girl Scouts one. I'd rather do without than have a bad substitution.

I bought some cheap mint chocolate cookies at Family Dollar or one of
those stores. They were surprisingly good. Not exactly Thin Mints by
any means, but not at all bad. I had tried the Keebler Grasshopper
ones, but those have a fudgy coating rather than thin dark chocolate.

They called 'em something else for a while, but yeah, those are my

Are there still choices? I used to like the Vanilla sandwich cookies when
they came in a box with half vanilla and half chocolate. I was never too
keen on the chocolate covered mint patties. There aren't any young girls
living around here and my wife is retired from teaching so we haven't felt
obligated to buy any for a few years. I can't say that I miss them.

For some reason I stopped baking cookies for a few years and decided to
just buy them once in a while. My favourites were Peek Freans, but they
were bought out by Kraft and the quality went downhill. They got
Kraftized. So I stopped buying them. I decided to make a batch of cookies
and immediately felt pretty silly for having been buying them when they
are so easy to make, and so much much better than any you can buy.

Is it a brand name, putting out several varieties of cookies, or are
Peek Freans a particular variety?

Peak Freen is a cookie company, or it was a cookie company. I think it is an
English company. They used to have a bakery or distribution centre in
toronto but as far as I can figure it has been taken over by Kraft and had
all it's quality removed. They make a variety of cookies and biscuits and
they used to be really good. They are still better than most, but not as
good as they were even a year ago.
