‘Everything Started Going Crazy’: North Florida Girl Scouts Selling Cookies Amid A Pandemic

Ambassador Darian Pisano of Troop 107 in Gainesville loves selling Girl Scout Cookies.
Her first season, 10 years ago, she found that selling 1,000 boxes would mean a free week of camp. Most Girl Scouts sell 200-300 boxes a season, but Darian reached her goal. Last year, the 17-year-old junior at P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School sold 3,504 boxes.
“This year, because of everything, my goal is only 1,500 again,” she said recently.
By everything, Darian means trying to sell cookies during the coronavirus pandemic.
In-person booth sales of Girl Scout Cookies typically happen January to March.
