Wow TIL they post sales to a website. Thanks!

Try and buy through a local troop. A portion of those proceeds go towards helping the kid you buy from pay for camp. If you get them wholesale, it just goes to the profit margin of the company that makes them.

It made a big difference to me as a kid.

The website linked above is a bulletin of local troops' upcoming booth locations, dates, and times. There is an option to ship and it appears to support a local troop as well, though I'd much rather buy from the scouts in person.

Glad to hear shipping will support local troops too. There were a few years they actually sold the cookies on the shelves in stop and shop and it killed me to hear people where going there and grabbing a bunch of boxes rather than getting them through a troop. There was one girl in my troop growing up who's mom was a CNA at one of local hospitals and the only way she could afford summer camp was by the credits she got from selling to her mom's co workers. It seems small every time we buy a box, but it makes a difference to a lot of those kids.
