Baking and transporting the cookie takes up 27 percent of the cost – or $1.08 of the $4 box. 21 percent ($0.84) goes straight back to the troop. Another 19 percent ($.076) goes toward volunteer support to train and screen (background checks) the volunteers for the 41,000 Scouts. A good chunk, 15 percent ($0.61), pays to upgrade the camps and subsidize the cost to make it more affordable for scouts who wouldn’t otherwise be able to participate. Twelve percent ($0.49) goes toward leadership programs, which Ross calls “overarching programming experience.” And the final six percent ($0.22) goes to local administrative offices and support.
