The Girl Scouts hate the internet.
In the article Why Do Girl Scouts Ban Online Cookie Sales? aspiring online entrepeneur, 8-year-old Wild Freeborn (future berry peddler) came up with the idea to market her Girl Scout cookies online (An idea I have actually pondered in the past). She set up a youtube channel with a sales pitch and her dad set up an online ordering system. Pretty entrepeneurial and worthy of some big ass merit badge or something right? Nope. The girl scounts hate the internet, and other parents of Girl Scouts support the denouncing of using the internet to sell cookies. The parents issue is that it gives an unfair advantage to girls like Wild Freeborn who THINK BIG.
I HATE KIDS but this Wild Freeborn is a go getter. Why should the Girl Scouts hamper her ability to sell more cookies then the next girl? They shouldn’t and they should be ashamed of themselves for trying. Life’s not fair. If you want to make it to the top you have to be innovative and fight for it. Wild Freeborn has that fight in her and the Girl Scouts are trying to kill it. Girl Scouts of America: you should be ashamed of yourselves.
“Forget merit badges, kid. Come work for me.”
Wild Freeborn? Rofl.
How is setting up an online shopping cart any less fair than having peoples parents take their order forms to work and “suggest” that all their underlings buy cookies. Or else.
As they say in the South:
“The Fair is where you ride the rides and see the pigs.”
Her name is Wild. That is a baller status name right there.
Wild Freeborn should leave the girl scouts, and then start a cookie business on the internet. It is never too early for a kid to start hustling.
