Video: Local Girl Scout ‘Weed” Cookies
Over the weekend a girl scout pulled off a move we have seen before but this time it was here in Metro Detroit…
The Green House dispensary in Walled Lake seemed like a great place to sell Girl Scout cookies so one little girl took advantage and sold 1000 boxes over the weekend.
Like we said…It seemed like a good idea, only until the Girl Scouts of the United States of America got wind and frowned upon the idea — setting off a storm on social media and leaving scout leaders scrambling to smooth over the hubbub, calling it a “misunderstanding.”
Local Girl Scout members and families were told not to sell cookies in a “facility where they’re not allowed to shop,” said Jerry Millen, the owner of Greenhouse of Walled Lake. “I understand that, that’s fine … but they were set up on a public corner, in wildlife.”
Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan is contacting the troop leader to resolve this matter, Jenkins said.
“I would love for somebody from the Girl Scouts of America to reach out to me so I can coordinate the opportunity for these young ladies and several troops to come to my store, every weekend, until cookie sales are over, to sell their cookies,” Millen said. “We put 1,500 people a day through this store. That’s 1,500 potential boxes.”
Since this story broke, the Girl Scout Association officially changed their rules and will now allow cookies to be sold outside of dispensaries in Michigan!
