Some Girl Scouts To Sit Out Cookie Sale In Protest

Troop members upset by the council's decision to sell some camps

MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota Girl Scout council's decision to sell some of its camps has so upset one Scout that she and others in her troop plan to sit out the big annual cookie sale that starts Saturday.

Kim Zaiman, who leads a troop of 12 girls in the St. Paul suburb of Maplewood, said Thursday her 10-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, will sit out the sale along with some other troop members.

The situation was "changing by the hour," she said.
