During the Academy Awards telecast, Rock called on the A-list audience to “reach into [their] millionaire pockets” and buy cookies from his daughters’ Girl Scouts troop.

Troop Beverly Hills, eat your heart out: Chris Rock sold Girl Scout cookies at the Oscars. The money raised goes directly to the Girl Scouts or they can use the funds for community improvement projects or donate to great causes.
Earlier this year, a transgender 9-year-old Girl Scout named Stormi was out selling cookies when a man a few blacks over told her; ‘Nobody wants to buy cookies from a boy in a dress’.
“I’ve been out here [in LA] working for a couple of weeks and I’ve been away from my two daughters at a very important time in their life”, Rock said. The final tally was $65, 243.
After last night’s red carpet style had been photographed and Chris Rock’s unabashed opening monologue had been said, the Oscar awards were officially underway. Brie Larson and Leonardo DiCaprio won best actress and actor respectively.
She set up shop at 60 of her troop’s 100 scheduled booth events, so she knows that between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.is the “sweet spot” for cookie sales.
“The girls have grown in their confidence when it comes to talking to customers”, said the Troop 118 Leader, Debbie Goodman, who has seven years of experience in Pennsylvania, Texas, and now in Japan.
Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails spokeswoman Carol Ann Short says selling outside medical marijuana dispensaries is against scout rules.
