The Way the Cookie Crumbles

Wild Freeborn's ethical thoughts were probably that Girl Scout cookie sales were what would get the troop to camp, no matter how they were sold. She probably thought it was an ingenious idea to use a personal video of herself to magnify the power of cookie selling far beyond that of a few hundred door knocks. Her intentions were most likely not to try to flout the tradition of Girl Scout cookie selling, it was just to raise money for her troop. However, the Girl Scouts most likely were unhappy with the idea of one Girl Scout being able to unfairly surpass other troops who kept to traditional methods of selling. They probably also felt that Freeborn would be sparking a dangerous trend of other Girl Scouts competing to see who can create the most outlandish video to sell cookies, which has a slightly exploitative connotation. I don't think the Girl Scouts should have come down so harshly on one of its own members. After all, it wasn't like she was making a profit of her own. The money she was raising was for her entire troop to go to scout camp. I think the Girl Scouts should have banned future use of the Internet to sell cookies but should have let Wild raise enough money for her troop to go to camp.
