      How is it slave labor? The girls use the revenue generated from cookie sales to pay for troop activities. Are you under some strange misapprehension that cookie sales money all goes to enrich shareholders or something? It’s a nonprofit organization.

        Do they girls get paid? No. Do the nonprofit “leaders” get paid? Yep.

        How is this not slavery or at least child labor?

        You act like non profit means there are no profits.

          My wife was a girl scout leader. She did not get paid.

          Is it slavery when a kid raises money for their school marching band? Is it slave labor when a kid has a lemonade stand and donates all the money to a local charity? Is it only slave labor when kids do it or is it slave labor when an adult raises money for GLAAD with a bake sale?

            Leaders of the org definitely get paid. Your wife was a scout mom, not a real leader.

            Pretending the industrial complex that is girl scout cookies just a bake sale is 100% bad faith argument here. I mean c’mon.

              Leaders of most nonprofits get paid. Why would Girl Scouts be any different and why would most people even agree to be working for a national nonprofit at the highest level for free? That’s a full-time job.

              Why are you talking about slavery one minute and expecting people who lead nonprofits to work for free in another. Wouldn’t that be slavery?

              Also, in Girl Scout terms, she was a leader. She was a troop leader in specific.
