<i>As a top-selling Girl Scout in the San Jacinto Council (Texas), she sold 5,131 boxes of cookies last year. At four dollars a box, she could buy a car, her mother and troop leader Kimberly Welsh, jokes</i><p>They must have a great pricing scheme in their troop or get the cookies for free, because in my daughter's troop that $4 per box only results in $0.65/box of profits (16.25%) given back to the girls. It's really an inefficient way to raise money.<p>On the other hand my son's Cub Scout pack sells overpriced lousy popcorn, but at least Trail's End kicks 66% of the money back to the boys (33% to the pack, 33% to the local council)
