"It's that time of year when millions of young girls learn what it takes to be an entrepreneur-Girl Scout cookie season! Selling cookies can be challenging, but for one 6-year-old, reaching record-breaking sales is a piece of cookie cake. All it took was some clever social media buildcrafting and algorithm exploits. Pim Neill is a Daisy Scout in Pittsburgh. On Sunday, she finally made it to a whopping 100,000 cookie box sales in just a single season, blowing past the national record."
""Hi, my name is Pim. Do you wanna buy some Girl Scout cookies?" Pim asks in a TikTok, holding a box of Thin Mints. Her blue glasses match her Girl Scout vest, and she ends the video with a gracious, "Thank you." The TikTok has over five million views. While her astronomical success may be attributed to the internet, that isn't stopping Pim from also putting in the work the traditional way: going door-to-door in her neighborhood."
"At first, Anorak-Neill had trouble finding a troop for Pim to join. "Our first troop, unfortunately, when we tried to join and ask questions about joining, the lady said that Pim's disabilities would hold back the troop, and they didn't want her to join," he said. "And that was really disappointing, but I decided she must not speak for all Girl Scouts as a whole." Pim was turned away from another troop for being too young."
Pim Neill, a 6-year-old Daisy Scout from Pittsburgh, sold 100,000 Girl Scout cookie boxes in a single season, surpassing the national record. Her family promoted her sales through social media and viral TikTok videos, including a clip that reached over five million views. Pim also sold cookies door-to-door in her neighborhood. She wanted to join Girl Scouts after seeing cookie sellers at age three. Her family encountered initial rejections from some troops citing her disabilities and age. The family eventually found a kindergarten-only troop where Pim is a Daisy among ten girls, and she launched the record-breaking cookie campaign.
