Local Girl Scouts were able to sell to friends and family members as early as December, but door-to-door sales did not start until mid-January.

Get the story straight. The prices have NOT changed since last year. There was no increase. They are $4. It's also NOT correct that troops keep 50 cents per box. In the GS Council for the Nation's Capital (which includes Md./Va. and parts of WVa.), troops keep at least 65 cents per box and it can be as much as 73 cents per box if they forego incentives (i.e. stuffed toys, trinkets) and if they have higher total sales. Lastly, Door to Door sales are mostly over. At this time it's mainly booths and delivery of pre-orders.
